The Kamaki Pruner 60 is a lightweight yet strong pair of professional-standard pruning shears, suitable for general pruning, bonsai or flower arranging. These pruners feature a bypass type blade, forged from high carbon steel and coated with hard chrome - this gives excellent resistance to rust and sap, and helps to maintain a sharp edge.

This pruner's compact size gives you excellent maneuverability and control. Weighing in at just 170g, the lighter weight helps to prevent user fatigue and makes it particularly popular with women. It's handle, crafted from nylon resin, provides a soft yet secure grip. The handle also features a non-slip design, and the bright red colour is easy to spot in the garden! A quality, Japanese-made tool that will be a workhorse in your garden tool kit.

Kamaki products are crafted in Hyogo, Japan by a local tools manufacturer established in 1876.

Specifications:

• Bypass type blade
• Total length: 200 mm
• Blade length: 50 mm
• Weight: 170g
• Material: high carbon steel blades with hard chrome plating, nylon resin handle
• High-tension spring
• Made in Japan

Usage:

• Japanese steel is hard and sharp. To avoid chips and preserve the steel edge, do not cut wire, metal, stone, or plastic.
• Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
• It's better to cut diagonally across branches (not straight across), so you cut along the fibres
• For heavier cuts, make sure you're using the base of the blades (not the tips)

Care:

• Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Rust Eraser and water
• Dry, wipe over with Camellia Oil and store in a dry place
• Sharpen when needed (secateurs can be sharpened every couple of weeks, shears & topiary clippers after every use to see an incredible difference).

Note: Do not use these pruners to cut wire. Always remove sap after each use using an oiled cloth, and ensure you keep the blades in good condition with appropriate tool maintenance.
