These extra fine stones which come from the Belgian Ardenne mountains are known for their ability to sharpen with a high level of precision, but without taking too much material away from the blade. They are perfect for reinstating an edge on good quality gardening knives and secateurs. The purpose of the slate layer is only to add strength to the stone.
Instructions:
Soak stone in water for 30 minutes before honing. Set the blade at a sharp angle onto the stone and pull back in a circular motion. Repeat. A fine paste will develop which helps sharpen the blade.
These bamboo hand rakes are imported especially for us from Japan. They are used by our gardeners and are very effective as well as being things of beauty.
As well as for raking leaves in intricate spaces, they also come in handy when cutting hedges as they can be used to even up the hedge after the first cut in order to identify any rough bits.

Length 40 cm; max width 30cm
