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