Here at Niwaki, Sarah’s eyes glazed over when she first saw one - thoughts of her allotment flashing before her, immaculate rows of exotic vegetables with not a weed in sight… Details Weight: 168g Measurements: 330 x 126 x 25mm Right Handed. 12.6cm blades. Carbon Steel. Pine handle. Made in Japan. Includes Vinyl Sheath. Please note: By law, we are not permitted to sell a knife or blade to any person under the age of 18. By placing an order for one of these items you are declaring that you are 18 years of age or over. These items must be used responsibly and appropriately. Most of Niwaki's sharp tools are made from carbon steel - this means they will, through regular use, stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their edge. Caring for them involves three things… 1. Correct Use: Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused 2. Keeping Them Clean: Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place 3. Keeping Them Sharp: New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge.
