Product description
A gift set for anyone who’s starting to get serious about gardening and needs an introduction to Japanese carbon steel gardening tools, including a solid, everyday pair of pruners and two essentials for keeping them in good nick.
Ichiban Set includes:
- Mainichi Pruners: ‘Mainichi’ means everyday in Japan and that’s exactly what these are for. A reliable go-to tool for garden pruning with a clean, direct cutting action, and chunky easy-to-use catch.
- Mini Clean Mate: Magic rust and sap eraser made for keeping carbon steel tools clean and in good working order. Simply add a little water and rub away any build-up.
- Camellia Oil: Natural, rust-preventative coating made from the seeds of Camellia oleifera. Apply a thin layer to clean blades, or use to condition wooden handles.
Best usage
No wrapping required: this set comes in a Christmas cotton bag with custom artwork by Japanese illustrator Natsko Seki.
Keep your new Mainichi Pruners clean with the Mini Clean Mate and protected with Camellia Oil (both included – hurrah!). When they need sharpening, reach for the #1000 Sharpening Stone.
