How to use your Japanese tools-
- 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 fibers 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 fibers
- 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
Keep them clean-
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a towel and Sap Remover
- Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil or use the Camellia Oil Applicator and store in a dry place
Keep them sharp-
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice they gradually lose their edge. Use a Sharpening Stone or Twin Diamond File.
- Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
- Sharpen Shears and Topiary Clippers every time you use them - the difference is amazing
