Care and use instructions:

Most tools are made of carbon steel - this means that with regular use they will stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their sharpness. Caring for them involves three things.
1. Proper use:

• Japanese steel is hard and sharp and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will break off if overused
.
• 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 the branches (not straight) so that you cut along the fibres
.
• Watch the maximum cutting dimensions and don't overdo it (shears are not loppers)
• Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
.

2. Keep clean:

• Remove leaf resin, rust and dirt with a Crean Mate and water
.
• Dry, wipe with Camellia Oil and store in a dry place
.

3. Keep sharp:

Even new tools need to be sharpened after a certain time. For best results, use a 1000 grit whetstone for general sharpening
