Niwaki Sharpening Stone

Product Description

Niwaki translates from Japanese to English as 'garden tree'. Niwaki's founder, Jake, travelled to Japan in the late 90s to explore the cherry blossoms there and draw inspiration from them, intending on a career as a sculptor. He was instead fascinated by the tools that were used to prune and shape the gardens of Japan, and his focus shifted towards bringing those to our western gardens, having spent a year working in a rural plant nursery near Osaka. Niwaki's tools are designed and made to last a lifetime, and have the highest functionality possible.

• #1000: fine, for regular sharpening - the most useful stone for regular sharpening: if you only get on stone, make it this one
• Concave bottom design fits to the curve of Niwaki blades perfectly, especially secateurs, ensuring great sharpening results every time.
• The flat face(s) of the stone are ideal for shears and topiary clippers

About Use:

• Soak until the bubbles stop rising before use (c.3 mins)
• Be careful not to drop them – they will crack
• Use the #1000 grit for a few minutes every week to keep your secateurs in top condition
