Maintenance:
Handmade Japanese shears feature an ergonomic design, smooth operation, and long-lasting sharpness. The blade however is made from traditional carbon steel, very hard but also brittle (more brittle than most people are used to) and rusting. Therefore take good care of this tool, don’t abuse it by cutting wires, dry branches and such.
After use, we advise cleaning the blades and coating them with plant-based oil. Store the shears in a dry place. If rust or other residue forms, you can use products from our steel care kit.
