Fantastic sharpening stones, specially designed for secateurs—but also excellent for shears, topiary clippers, and other sharp garden tools. Available in three grit levels to suit everything from routine maintenance to repairing seriously worn blades.

The underside of each stone is slightly concave to match the convex curve of secateur blades, making it easy to maintain the correct angle while sharpening. The flat sides are ideal for shears and for removing burrs from the reverse of the blade after sharpening. Compact enough to get into tight spots along the blade. Use often—sharp tools make cleaner cuts, reduce fatigue, and are safer and more satisfying to use.
