Fantastic for bonsai, herbs and other jobs that call for minute precision

These are traditional Nigiribasami snips. These little sheers feel lovely to hold and their usefulness extends far beyond the garden.

Also, fun fact: Ever eaten onigiri? (Onigiri are rice balls, sometimes wrapped in seaweed, normally with something inside, like salmon.) Well, an onigiri is so called because it’s squeezed into shape in the palm of your hand, and these little beauties are so called because…you squeeze them in the palm of your hand. Nigiri = to squeeze.

Mini snips for delicate plants, stems and even sewing or fabric work.

Daniel I. ★★★★★

The first thing I noticed was how perfectly balanced they feel in my hand, making precise cuts on my basil plants effortless. Even the tiny stems on my thyme come out clean without any crushing.

Stella ★★★★★

The blades on these snips are so sharp I can clip individual stems without disturbing the neighboring herbs in my window box. The grip feels balanced and secure, making precise cuts effortless.

Ava C. ★★★★★

I spend hours on my bonsai, and these snips fit my hand perfectly for those tiny, exact cuts. The precision is just what I needed for trimming herbs, too.
