The snips that live in your pocket and wander the garden with you. Always there for the unplanned moment — a stem that needs cutting, a flower worth picking, some chives that need cutting.

Slender blades that get right in for careful, precise snipping. Brilliant for flowers, fruit and veg, though not for woody pruning — that's what the secateurs are for. And the red handles? Deliberately chosen for the almost inevitable moment you put them down somewhere and forget where. Made in a beautiful family-run factory in Sanjo, Japan.
