Care Instructions for Handmade Japanese Secateurs :

• Cleaning - After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove plant sap and debris. For stubborn residues, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly.
• Sharpening - Regularly sharpen the blades with a whetstone or sharpening tool to maintain their precise cutting edge. Follow the original convex curve when sharpening to preserve the blade's design.
• Oiling - Apply a light coat of camellia oil or any quality blade oil to the blades after cleaning and drying to prevent rust. Lubricate the pivot point with a few drops of oil to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage - Store the secateurs in the provided faux leather blade sheath  or this Leather Case for Garden Shears when not in use to protect the blades. Keep them in a dry place to avoid moisture buildup that could lead to rusting.
• Maintenance - Periodically check and tighten any screws or bolts to ensure the secateurs remain sturdy and aligned. Avoid cutting hard materials like wire to prevent damage to the blades.
• Handling - Always handle the secateurs with care, avoiding any drops or impacts that could damage the blades or handles. Use the secateurs only for their intended purpose of cutting plants and small branches.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Handmade Japanese Secateurs by Toyama Hamono remain in excellent condition, providing you with precise and efficient cutting for years to come.
