  1. You mean to say that you don’t buy new ones like me when they go dull?!? 🤣😂
    But seriously, good video and good advice. Cheers from Utah.

  2. I didn't know you could sharpen secateurs! I'm trying to buy less but better and maintain things properly to cut down on waste, thanks!

  3. Last autumn, my husband put all my hand tools away dirty. I have never done this in all my years of gardening. But he did the fall cleanup for me. Now, i have to deal with rusty hand tools. Any advice? Thank you for this informative video. I am hopeful that I can save my expensive secateurs.

  4. Yeah I really need to give mine a sharpen now I’ve seen this…. either that or buy a new pair and maintain that pair… as I found my pair to be honest haha! And mate I have to admit I was distracted by that stunning living room behind you! Really nice style to it! 😀

  5. This tutorial came at the right time. Thank you for the advice! I don't have a stone, but I just placed an order today for one (and other garden-related items 🙂 … )

  6. Oh dear, I started watching one of your videos and find myself an hour later still watching your videos!! 🤭 oh well I feel much more well informed. Thank you 😁

  7. Seriously brilliant. So well explained and hypnotically watchable. Inspired me to buff my pair right up.

  8. Thank you for showing me how to use that funny shaped shed doorstop, now I have a pair of secateurs that actually cut nicely. Peter

  9. Great video. One correction – the whetstone is convex (bowed out). (Concave is bowed in, or 'caved in' is a way to remember it)

  10. The okatsune prunes are 61 HRC hard which is on top of the high knife steel. So I can't believe that they need to be sharpened every week I have them now 3 years and I sharpen them only twice a year and at the end of the season.
    But then I have to put them into a drawer so I don't check the sharpness with my thumbnail because it makes me smile how unbelievable sharp they are after sharpening.

  11. Once again great video. Wish you were in Texas so I can hire you to be my landscaper. I put in mega dollars to my front yard but then I had to cut down enormous, gorgeous tree because it dropped seeds inside of lush plantings underneath tree and my other Gardner and I could not keep up with hand pulling the growth of the million new seeds sprouting . Original Landscaper should have known that. Any ideas to replace very large tree to give shade but does not drop seeds. My water bill increase gigantically because I now have no shade without tree. Any idea for large trees that does not drop seeds gives shade from the Texas sun? Thank you for your most informative videos. Also, can I hire you, pay you, to design my rear yard. I can submit videos and photos. Thank you!!!

  12. I've just bought my first 'Crean Mate' and even found the whetstone you used, took me ages to find online (I was going to email you for help) so hope I've got the right one, it's by 'Niwaki' (1000 coarse). Even added some Camellia oil to my basket – guess what I'm going to be doing over the bank holiday?

  13. Could you put a link up please? All I can find online are pages and pages of those normal flat whetstones…
