To keep your tools in good condition and ensure they last for many years of use, they require some simple but regular maintenance. Here are some usage & care tips, to help you get the most out of your tools... 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) Show more
