1000 grit whetstone for secateurs and garden shears This 1000 grit pruning-tool whetstone is shaped for curved and uneven garden blades. It is useful for regular touch-ups on secat eurs, pruning shears, garden scissors, sickles, grafting knives and small carbon steel blades. The shaped faces help where a flat stone struggles to make contact. Use the appropriate surface for the blade shape, sharpen lightly before the edge feels truly dull, then clean, dry and oil the tool before storage. Best suited to Japanese secateurs and pruning shears Curved garden scissors and topiary shears Sickles, grafting knives and small garden blades Regular medium-grit maintenance Users who want a compact stone for pruning tools What this stone will not do It is not the right first step for deep chips or badly damaged blades; use a coarse stone first. It will not remove sap build-up; clean blades first with sap cleaner. It should not be used to grind the flat back of bypass scissors or secateurs. How to use Use with water only. Rinse swarf during sharpening, keep the stone clean, and dry both stone and tool after use. For bypass blades, sharpen the bevel and only remove burrs lightly from the back so the blades still meet correctly. Pair with YaniPika Sap Cleaner, finish with camellia oil, or choose the Japanese Garden Tool Maintenance Kit. Show more
