‘Mainichi’ means everyday, which is an accurate estimate of how often you’ll find cause to use these in your kitchen.

Besides the obvious scissor function (aided and abetted by very finely serrated stainless steel blades), they come equipped with a bottle opener, a nutcracker and a lid opener.

Stainless steel blades come apart, which makes them easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher. Oh, and they’re yellow, which will help you find them in the utensil drawer.

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.
