Wipe after every use. <br>Always. Moisture is the enemy of any blade. If your tools get wet\u2014either from plant sap or water &#8211; the best practice is wipe them dry immediately with a clean cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Sap matters too. <br>Some plants, like jasmine, release a heavy sap that can gum up your blades. After pruning, wipe the blade clean using a light lubricant spray (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wd40.com.au\/\">WD-40<\/a>) or a specialised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/sap-and-rust-remover-for-scissors-hard\/\">sap remover<\/a> to maintain smooth cutting. Leaving the sap to sit only makes it harder to clean later\u2014regular light cleaning saves time in the long run. And when it comes to Japanese forged hand tools, \u201cthe long run\u201d can mean decades. So it pays to care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monthly Maintenance \u2013 A Deeper Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, plant sap and fine particles settle inside the joints of your tools. This buildup can make them stiff or misaligned, even if the blade still looks sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent Rust on Secateurs and Shears<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clean the Joints Thoroughly. Generously apply sap cleaner into the joints and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, shake the tool until no liquid comes out\u2014this removes hidden gunk inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Heavy Build-up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s a lot of sap, soak the tool in warm water for 10\u201315 minutes. Sap is water-soluble, and this helps loosen it.<strong> <\/strong>Be sure to remove all water from the joints afterward\u2014shake it thoroughly until it\u2019s dry to prevent rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools &amp; Products to Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/sap-and-rust-remover-for-scissors-hard\/\"><strong>a rust and sap remover<\/strong><\/a> from the Shokunin Store range. When cleaning, be gentle\u2014especially on the back of the blade. It\u2019s okay if it doesn\u2019t come clean in one go. Repeat the same process after a few days and you\u2019ll see gradual improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/One_Toyama_Rust-Stain_Remover_Eraser.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"Toyama\u3000Rust\u3000Stain\u3000Remover\u3000Eraser\" class=\"wp-image-4925\" style=\"width:165px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Tips: From the Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trusted users share their practical advice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a rubber eraser-type cleaner like our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/sap-and-rust-remover-for-scissors-hard\/\">Sap and Rust Remover<\/a> <\/strong>to gently scrub sap and rust from your tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When cleaning the back of the blade, go very gently as the back blades of Japanese scissors are concave. For other areas, avoid rubbing the blade edge directly. If unsure, consult the maker. It\u2019s okay if you can\u2019t remove all the sap at once. Even repeating the process weekly will slowly make the tool cleaner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Step: Oil It Well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your tools are clean and dry, it\u2019s time to apply tool oil. You might be wondering: <em>What\u2019s the best oil for rusty tools?<\/em> We recommend camellia tool oil. It\u2019s a light, non-drying oil that won\u2019t leave a sticky residue. Our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/100-camellia-seed-oil-35ml\/\">100% Camellia Seed Oil<\/a> <\/strong>is even better\u2014it\u2019s edible-grade and exceptionally safe to use, even on kitchen tools or your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How do you oil garden scissors?<\/em> It\u2019s very simple. Some scissor manufacturers recommend applying oil only to the joints and moving parts, but many users prefer to apply it more broadly\u2014anywhere rust tends to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protecting Your Scissors During Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same goes for when you are not using your scissors for months. Just coat the blades with oil, then wipe off the excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/100-camellia-seed-oil-35ml\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/SO-4_Tsubaki-w-Seeds-n-Flower-Focus-4.jpg?resize=1224%2C816&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7624\" style=\"width:512px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/SO-4_Tsubaki-w-Seeds-n-Flower-Focus-4.jpg?w=1224&amp;ssl=1 1224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/SO-4_Tsubaki-w-Seeds-n-Flower-Focus-4.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep Rust Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your tools are fully rusted, here\u2019s what one of our pro users does:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wet the tool and spray with a mix of detergent, bicarbonate soda, and washing soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrub with a nylon brush (or a brass brush gently, avoiding the edge).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1224\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shears-up-Close.jpg?resize=1224%2C816&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7621\" style=\"width:515px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shears-up-Close.jpg?w=1224&amp;ssl=1 1224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shears-up-Close.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sharpening \u2013 When &amp; How Often?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the high-grade materials used by artisan makers like Yoshioka Hamono and Tobisho, the blade typically retains sharpness for a long time\u2014even with daily use. Rather than sharpening too frequently (and risking damage), consider sending your tool for professional maintenance once every 1 to 2 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason tools feel dull isn\u2019t always the blade itself\u2014it\u2019s often the buildup of grime that shifts the alignment. So regular cleaning of both the surface and the joints may be more important than sharpening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Three_Sharpening_Stones_And_Secateurs_NewsPaper_3.png?resize=600%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three_Sharpening_Stones_And_Secateurs_NewsPaper\" class=\"wp-image-7622\" style=\"width:513px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shokuninstore.pro\/au\/product\/sharpening-stone-for-secateurs-and-scissors\/\">Sharpening Stones for Secateurs<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to make your garden scissors last Keeping your hand-forged Japanese tools in good condition doesn\u2019t just extend their life\u2014it helps them work better, feel better in hand, and honour the craftsmanship behind them.
