Know before you buy

To keep the walnut handles in top condition, it is best to wipe them clean after use and store them in a dry place. You may occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out.
Yes, the stainless steel blades are designed to be sharpened. You can use a standard sharpening stone or tool to maintain their edge for sustained performance over time.
The wide handle design is specifically engineered to accommodate various hand sizes, providing enough clearance to be used comfortably even while wearing thick gardening gloves.
