Care: Carbon steel is very hard and retains its sharpness better than stainless steel, however, it is more prone to rusting and must be treated with a little more care. If you are using the cultivator for an extended weeding session, we recommend keeping a clean, dry cloth handy and giving the prongs an occasional wipe, especially if it's getting wet.
After using, remove leaf residue, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water. Dry with a clean cloth and wipe with Camellia oil. Store in a dry place.
You can keep your cultivator working properly by remembering thatJapanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused.
