This Niwaki GR 210 Folding Saw is perfect for regular use around the garden.
A popular saw which is just the tool for thinning shrubs, pruning trees, and other jobs that secateurs and loppers can’t handle. It features a chunky and sturdy rubber handle with a 21cm sharp blade that easily cuts branches up to around 7cm diameter, achieving a perfect finish. An ideal size to carry with you at all times, it also fits very nicely into the double Niwaki holster.
As with all Japanese saws, it has a narrow blade for efficient sawing, and cuts on the pull stroke – go easy, and don’t twist or snag the blade. Pruning is not about strength or energy, it’s about care – positioning, precision and rhythm, about feeling what you’re doing, responding to the situation, rather than bulldozing through.

Caring For Your Japanese Tools
Most of our Japanese garden tools are made from carbon steel - this means they will, through regular use, stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their edge. Caring for them involves three things…
1. Correct Use:
- Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused
- Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
- Pay attention to the maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
2. Keeping them Clean:
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water
- Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place
Â
3. Keeping them Sharp:
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge, especially if you’re box clipping (you need REALLY sharp blades to get a good finish with box). Use the Niwaki Sharpening Stones for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).
- Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
- Sharpen Shears and Topiary Clippers EVERY TIME you use them - the difference is amazing
