Hand forged and finished in the mountains of Yamagata, S-Types have a more pronounced shoulder to the handles, compared to the Niwaki regular GR Pro Secateurs. The blade here is a somewhat angled version that steers down away from the hand. Ergonomically these are more suitable for slightly weaker and smaller hands than other full-size secateurs, but offer the same firm, refined cutting action.

S58C is a tough and hard-wearing carbon steel that holds a great edge and sharpens well. The chunky catch at the bottom and strong spring gives a reassuringly simple functional feel, and the ergonomic handles and yellow grips offer a great working solution for medium to larger sized hands. You can remove the yellow vinyl grips for a more traditional look but we find the bright yellow makes finding them in the garden a whole lot easier.
