Sneeboer Maintenance Kit

While specifically curated for Sneeboer’s hand-forged stainless steel tools, the kit’s components—the sharpener, oil, and brush—are effective for maintaining most high-quality stainless steel gardening implements with wooden handles.

The kit contains a specialized sharpening tool for bladed implements, a cleaning brush for removing soil and debris, and a protective oil to condition wooden handles and prevent rust on steel surfaces.

For optimal performance, we recommend a light cleaning after every use. A more thorough maintenance session, including sharpening and oiling, should be performed at the end of each gardening season or whenever the steel begins to look dull.

No, the oil is designed to penetrate and nourish the wood rather than leave a greasy residue. When applied correctly, it restores the wood's natural luster and provides a protective barrier against moisture without compromising your grip.

The sharpener is designed for standard gardening blades like trowels, hoes, and shears. It is best suited for maintaining a keen edge on straight or slightly curved stainless steel blades.
