SUWADA Classic Garden Secateurs S-13W
Japanese pruning secateurs for general garden work on live branches, shrubs and roses. The angled handle-and-blade layout is designed for controlled pruning, while the high-carbon steel cutting head can handle live wood up to approximately 15 mm.
Choose the S-13W when you want a regular-size carbon-steel pair for everyday pruning rather than fine flower or bud work.

Questions about this tool
How do I choose the right Japanese secateurs?
Start with the work you do most often: usual branch diameter, hand comfort and the geometry of the tool. Compare the rated live-wood capacity where it is stated, then choose the model whose size and handling fit your normal pruning rather than simply choosing the largest model.
How should I clean and store Japanese secateurs?
Remove sap and dirt after use, dry the tool thoroughly and keep carbon-steel surfaces lightly protected with suitable oil before storage. Do not leave the tool wet or store it with plant residue on the blades.
Can Japanese secateurs be sharpened?
Yes. Good secateurs are designed to be maintained, but sharpening should preserve the existing cutting geometry rather than changing it. Clean the blade first, use a suitable fine sharpening stone and avoid grinding surfaces that are meant to mate closely. If the edge is badly damaged or you are unsure of the bevel, professional sharpening is the safer option.
How do I know which replacement spring fits my SUWADA secateurs?
The replacement spring size depends on the exact model. Where we have verified compatibility, the product page and cart show the correct Large or Small spring for that tool. Match the model before ordering rather than choosing by appearance.
