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.

Japanese Nail Nipper - Suwada Classic
Kogu teapot
Beautiful teapot from Kogu. I saw this one while I was in Japan and fell in love with the design. The material is beautiful and the size is perfect. Also the packaging was lovely and shipping was very fast.

Nippers sheath
To be honest, I bought the case solely because it protects the nippers and fits them perfectly; I didn't bother looking for a different $5 option that would offer the same fit. Unlike the nippers—which are simply flawless—the case is vastly overpriced; the cost of three cases equals the price of one pair of nippers. Yet, the nippers represent sheer perfection and embody a huge amount of time and effort, whereas the case is just a piece of leather stitched together.

Nail Nipper Leather Case - Large - 5 colors
Sizes L and S
I spent a long time deciding whether to buy size S or L, so I ended up buying both. I had never used cutters like these before, but when I tried them out, I found the blades to be incredibly sharp and precisely aligned. The leverage mechanism works perfectly—there is absolutely no play, and everything fits together tightly. Having worked as a fitter for ten years, I appreciate tools that perform with precision and flawlessness; I even examined them under a magnifying glass and couldn't find a single defect—it is truly amazing that these cutters have been perfected to such a degree.

Excellent Precision and Premium Quality
I am really happy with the Suwada Round Nail Clipper. The quality feels exceptional from the moment you hold it, and the precision is truly impressive. It cuts very cleanly and smoothly, which makes nail care feel much easier and more controlled.
What I like most is how accurate it is, especially around the edges of the nails. It gives a neat result without needing much effort. The design also feels solid, elegant and made to last.
Overall, I am very pleased with this nail clipper. It is definitely a premium product, but the precision, comfort and quality make it worth it for me.

Round Tip Nail Nipper
First class nipper
Perfect craftsmanship. +They’re so sharp that they cut very smoothly (no snapping) and accurately. That’s the quality I love. The straight & pointy edge on this model is definitely the best for big toes nails. Consequently, the rest is a breeze.

Japanese Nail Nipper - Suwada Classic
Utilitarian item of no equal
Deep frying chicken or shrimps with oil needs a lot. It makes sense to re-use it again the oil for next time. Hence we find this a very utilitarian item of importance, which helps in re-using the oil. It also comes with a filter. The filter keeps the over-fried fritters out of the oil.
