Hakari Curved Clippers

Got curves to shape? These topiary clippers with curved blades and are handmade for Niwaki in a small family-run factory in Yamagata, Japan. They are tailor-made for pruning the organic contours of cloud-pruned plants, topiary and rolling, wavy hedges.
Like the full-sized Karikomi shears, it's a beautiful tool to work with and, perhaps unexpectedly, also an especially useful tool for guiding less confident topiary trimmers to achieve smooth curved shapes.
Comes with a hard-wearing canvas pouch for storage and a spare spring.
Only produced in special batches so they may not always be available to us. Get them now if you fancy them!

Caring for Snips, Shears & Clippers
Caring for Snips, Shears & Clippers
Similar to how to care for your secateurs, the key to a long life for your shears is to be sure to maintain them well through regular cleaning & sharpening. As well as ensuring you use them the way there intended to be used.
Correct use of your Snips, Shears & Clippers:
- Keep them sharp & oiled, sharpen after every use
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than people are used to - it will chip if abused.
- Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges).
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure.
- Shears and clippers are to be used on fine green growth only, no woody stems.
- Cut diagonally across branches, not horizontally or straight across.
- Watch out for maximum cut lengths, shears are not loppers or secateurs.
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts.
Cleaning & Sharpening:
The first rule of thumb is to keep them clean & sharp... Shears, in particular, like to be sharpened with every use.

Purchasing Ladders
Ladders can be ordered on our website for pick-up from our Victoria Showroom. Due to the high cost of shipping such large items and the risk of damage during shipping, we do not offer a shipping option.
Ladders can also be purchased in person from one of our dealers in the Vancouver or Vancouver Island areas. Check out our "where to buy" page for dealers.
