Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, the Asano Mekiri Pruning Shears are traditional Japanese garden snips designed for precise pruning and everyday garden maintenance.

Originally developed for mekiri, the careful trimming of new buds on bonsai and ornamental plants, these versatile shears are equally suited to deadheading flowers, pruning roses and shrubs, harvesting herbs, cutting twine, and other light gardening tasks. The fine-pointed blades provide excellent precision, making detailed cutting comfortable even during extended use.

The blades are forged from high-carbon steel, offering exceptional sharpness and excellent edge retention, while the tan leather-wrapped handles provide a comfortable, secure grip. A matching leather loop keeps the shears safely closed when not in use.

Care Instructions

Care & Maintenance

  • Wipe the blades clean and dry thoroughly after each use.
  • Apply a light coat of oil to the blades before storing to help prevent rust.
  • Store in a dry place away from moisture.
  • Keep the blades sharp by sharpening as needed with a suitable sharpening stone.
  • Do not leave the shears outdoors or exposed to wet conditions.
  • Carbon steel will naturally develop a patina over time; this is normal and helps protect the steel.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
