Product Information

Buying a sharpener for each gardening tool is expensive and inconvenient. Get a sharpener that can sharpen as many tools as possible. Tip: Keep some mineral oil around and apply a bit to the edge of gardening tools after sharpening. This prevents rusting. Some garden tool sharpeners come with oil that you can apply on both the sharpener and your tools to keep out corrosion. Pull the knife blade along the sharpening steel towards you, with enough gentle force that you can hear a grinding noise.

Measuring 10.6cm long (without the handle), the sharpening stone is perfect for small tools like secateurs and fish hooks as well as larger tools like a camping axe or hatchet. If your knife sharpener has a fine or honing setting, run it through that once or twice after the coarse setting. Do this in the same way, but with less force. To keep your knife sharp, use the fine setting once after every couple of hours' use. Finish with a honing steel for best results. Rinse and dry the knife.
