These Limited Edition secateurs are special in all sorts of ways - they’re forged from KA70 steel, a hard wearing carbon steel that retains its edge well and sharpens easily. The handles are wrapped with Wisteria rattan, that not only looks amazing but also provides a natural textured grip that feels great in the hand and provides perfect ergonomics and grip.
As a natural material, rattan should be treated a step more carefully than our regular secateurs - not bashed about, not left out in the rain overnight (not a good idea, for any tools, incidentally…) and generally looked after. In particular, don’t fold the secateur lock catch inside the handle, or use with it half out, as this can wear and snag the rattan.

Caring for your tools
- Correct use - Japanese steel is hard and sharp and can be more brittle than some people are used to meaning it will chip if not used correctly. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material.
- Keep them clean - remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water. Dry, then wipe over with Cameillia Oil and store in a dry place.
- Keep them sharp - new tools won't need sharpening for some time, but after a while youll notice them gradually lose their edge. Use the #1000 Sharpening Stone for best results.
