The Sokan brand is the oldest brand of secateurs in Japan. 200 years ago, Mr Sokan was a blacksmith making swords, and in 1870 the company produced the first ever pair of secateurs in Japan.

The tool is hot forged from high carbon steel and ground by hand. Japanese secateurs are made from only two pieces of metal, with the blade and handle forming one piece. This gives a stronger tool and better balance than European secateurs where the blade is welded to the handle.

The two sides of the secateur are bolted together and it is the integrity of this bolt that gives the secateurs their distinctive cut. These Sokan secateurs use a tapered bolt which gets thicker towards the head. As the craftsman forces the bolt into the holes, the metal of the bolt begins to unify with the metal of the handle/blade. So, the bolt never needs tightening.

Packed in a distinctive box, these secateurs are a great gift for any passionate gardener, or a wonderful treat for yourself.

Replacement springs are available. Please call to order.

The hori hori knife is light but incredibly strong. The stainless steel blade is straight with a shallow scoop, rather like trowel. It is razor sharp and serrated on one side, and along its length, there are calibration marks in inches and centimetres. The black moulded handle is ergonomically designed to give an amazingly comfortable grip. It also comes with a plastic sheath and belt holder. Our 3-Season and All Weather Gardening trousers have been designed so that the hori hori knife fits perfectly and in absolute safety and comfort into one of the stab-proof pockets.

The 4-Season Sock system is comprised of two socks: an inner and an outer layer. Each layer can be worn separately or together for maximum warmth, making it the perfect solution for all weathers throughout the year.

The Outer Layer is made with a combination of Merino wool and acrylic for all-day warmth while wicking moisture away from the foot to keep you dry. The sock has medium cushioning for added protection inside your boots. Wear the Outer Layer on its own during Spring or Autumn.

The Inner Layer has a high merino content and is non-cushioned giving lightweight moisture control. Wear this layer on its own during hot summer weather.

Combine both layers for extreme protection in Winter. The 4-Season Sock system has the versatility to keep your feet comfortable whatever the weather.
