Maintenance tips:
Okatsune has become a pro in hardening the blades. As such the shears will stay sharper a lot longer than your average shears from the hardware store. A lot of attention was also paid to the geometry. As such the shears are amazing to work with.
Because the blades on this pair of shears were made from carbon steel they are not stainless. As a result it would be a good idea to clean the blades after use - we recommend Yanipika and add a drop of camellia oil. These couple of steps will keep your shears in tip top shape.
