Sentei Garden Scissors (Uekibasami) are the small, precise workhorses every gardener ends up reaching for daily. Hand-forged in Japan from KA-70 carbon steel, these compact shears excel at clean, controlled cuts—perfect for trimming cut flowers, dead-heading spent blooms, and light pruning around pots and raised beds.

They’re sized for everyday use: a balanced 6.6 oz in the hand, 6.8" overall length, and a 2" blade that slips easily into tight growth. The Uekibasami profile gives you sharp tip control for detail work without feeling delicate. Whether you’re doing intentional garden maintenance or wandering outside looking for something that needs a quick snip, these deliver effortless performance.

Like all carbon steel tools, they’ll patina with use. Wipe clean after each session and apply a touch of camellia oil to prevent rust. Built to last, made to be used, and an ideal upgrade from disposable hardware-store shears.
