Thank you for your channel. Do you sell the brown sharpening block in this video? May I have the link you to your website for this product? Lastly, How often do you sharpen all your tools? After each and every single cut and project?
Hi, thank you very much for your message. Yes, we do sell these sharpening block. You will find them under the name oilstone in our "Bonsai Accessories" product page. The frequency with which you should sharpen them will depend on how often you use them and the type of work you're doing. As a general rule, it's a good idea to give them a sharpening at least once or twice a year, especially before the growing season. But, if you're using your tools frequently or working with tougher materials like thick branches or roots, you may need to sharpen them more often. Dull tools can harm your bonsai by damaging the tissue, which can slow down healing and make them more susceptible to disease.
Okay I'm going to go ahead and say it out loud.... They call it an oil Stone because you're supposed to use it with oil, not water. Its important to the honing operation. Thanks for a very good video.
They are all whetstone. Oil stone just uses oil you lubricate vs water. I agree that it shouldn't be called an oil stone is soaking in water. They should call it a whetstone or sharpening stone. Whether you use oil or water, is up to the user.
We recommend #320 (fine grit) oilstone for sharpening dull blades. If your knife is tipped, we recommend you sharpen it with #240(medium grit) first and then finish with #320.
What makes the Camilla oil special, as someone that puts scissors through heavy gardening use for a living what improvements does it have over say isopropyl alcohol
Camilla oil is just a natural oil, not synthetic. Natural is better for the trees, where it's cut. The alcohol is different when cutting multiple trees. It's used to prevent cross contamination. The oil is used as a tool protectant and lubricant, the alcohol is for protecting the tree when cutting. Hope that helps.
No recomendamos afilar demasiado la pinza de corte esférico porque corre el riesgo de romperse. pero de hacerlo, debería de ser de forma parecida a las tijeras, tal y como mostramos en el video.

What is the name for a "sap eraser" in the USA? Is there something similar I can buy here?

Also is mineral oil ok to use?
We do not recommend it. Ideally, the oil should be from a vegetal source such us camellia oil.
