About Shogun Tools

Shogun Tools was born from a simple gift, a pair of handmade Japanese secateurs Maki gave to her gardener husband, Alex, back in 2013. When friends and colleagues started asking for tools just like them, the seed of an idea took root.

Today, Shogun Tools is dedicated to sharing the incredible craftsmanship of Japanese toolmakers with gardeners, chefs, and makers across Australia and beyond.

Every tool is selected with care, tested by professionals, used by Maki and Alex themselves and sold under the maker’s own name to honour their skill. Shogun Tools believes in ethical trade, fair pricing, and helping preserve generations of Japanese tradition through beautiful, functional tools designed to last a lifetime (or more).

By putting these tools in the hands of people who’ll use and love them, Shogun Tools aims to be a bridge between cultures and craftspeople, with integrity at every step.
