Niwaki's Jake Hobson demonstrate how sharpen garden shears using a few simple tools: water, a Niwaki Crean Mate, Niwaki #1000 grit Sharpening Stone, Niwaki Camellia Oil and a little elbow grease (model's own).

This was very helpful thank you Jake, would you be able to do a sharpening video on secateurs? Or is it essentially the same principles

I sharpened my Okatsune Shears last night following your guide, it really brought it back to life. I use it for shaping lonicera nitida and its a pleasure. Is there any manual tool you would recommend for shaping hawthorne?

Brilliant. Dude, if I don't have a whetstone, can I use a file? Thanks mate.

Hello Jake thank you, could you show how you would sharpen shears with curved blades?
@niwakihq Жыл бұрын
Of course, I'll make sure I cover it in a future video. Sharpening curved blades uses the same technique as straight blades, clean with Crean Mate, sharpen with sharpening stone - following the natural curve of the blade, without applying too much pressure on the stone - and lubricate with Camellia oil. Hope that helps

Hi Our shears are quite blunt, and 1000 does not make much difference. What stone would you recommend for a major service. 400?
@niwakihq Жыл бұрын
Something like that, yes. The Niwaki #220 stone would work well, or the Twin Diamond File, which very quickly grinds out any nicks and puts a crude new edge on.

If it seems blunt on the cutting edge is probably a double bevel sheer.

You stone it so sharp angle. Most of mass production scissors have nearly 90 degree angle, so they dont cut normally.

There's no hard and fast rules on a sharpening angle, we generally say roughly 10-15 degrees. More like Mount Fuji than K2
