• Total Length: 740 mm

Usage:

• Japanese steel is hard and sharp. To avoid chips and preserve the steel edge, do not cut wire, metal, stone, or plastic. 
• Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
• It’s better to cut diagonally across branches (not straight across), so you cut along the fibres
• For heavier cuts, make sure you’re using the base of the blades (not the tips)

Care:

• Always remove sap and leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Rust Eraser and water
• Dry, wipe over with Camellia Oil and store in a dry place
• Sharpen when needed (secateurs can be sharpened every couple of weeks, shears & topiary clippers after every use to see an incredible difference).
• Ensure you keep the blades in good condition with appropriate tool maintenance.
