Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer - Garden Tool SharpenerA sharp blade is the quiet secret behind good pruning. A keen edge slices cleanly through a stem, leaving a neat wound that heals fast and resists disease; a blunt one crushes and tears, leaving ragged cuts that let in rot and make every job harder than it needs to be. Yet sharpening is the one bit of tool care most of us put off usually because we don't have the right thing to hand. This little tool solves that. The Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer

A sharp blade is the quiet secret behind good pruning. A keen edge slices cleanly through a stem, leaving a neat wound that heals fast and resists disease; a blunt one crushes and tears, leaving ragged cuts that let in rot and make every job harder than it needs to be. Yet sharpening is the one bit of tool care most of us put off — usually because we don't have the right thing to hand. This little tool solves that.

The Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer is a pocket-sized sharpener built to bring a keen working edge back to the cutting tools you use most — secateurs, loppers, hedge shears, topiary shears, and the like. At just 12.5cm long it slips into a pocket or tool pouch, so you can put a quick edge back on your secateurs out in the border or down at the allotment rather than waiting for a workshop session that never quite happens.

At its tip sits a 2cm tungsten carbide file — carbide being far harder than steel, so it cuts a fresh edge quickly and lasts for years. The sharpening tip is housed in a durable casing with a soft, non-slip grip that stays secure even when your hands are gloved or damp, and a protective cap keeps the file clean and stops it nicking your pocket or tool bag between jobs. It's genuinely simple to use — a few strokes along the bevel of the blade is all it takes — and clear instructions are printed on the packaging, so even if you've never sharpened a tool in your life, you can do it with confidence.

Keeping an edge on your tools isn't just about making the work easier, though it does that. It's a small act of looking after the things that look after your garden — and a sharp, well-maintained pair of secateurs will last years longer, and cut far more kindly, than a neglected one.

What it sharpens

  • Secateurs — the tool that benefits most from a regular touch-up
  • Loppers — for clean cuts on thicker stems and branches
  • Hedge shears and topiary shears — keeping long blade edges crisp
  • Other straight or curved garden blades that have lost their edge

Please note: this tool is designed for the blade edges of cutting tools and is not suitable for sharpening saw blades.

How to use it

Wipe the blade clean first so you can see the bevel — the angled cutting edge. Holding the tool securely by its non-slip grip, draw the carbide file along that bevel in smooth, even strokes, always working in the same direction and following the existing angle of the edge. A few passes is usually all a regularly maintained blade needs. Most garden blades (secateurs, loppers, shears) are bevelled on one side only, so sharpen the bevelled face and simply remove any burr from the flat back. Finish by wiping the blade and, ideally, adding a light smear of oil to protect it. Sharpen little and often through the season and your tools will never get the chance to go properly blunt.

Kids?
Size: Medium, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Anthracite
I didn’t realize these were kids socks, until after I got them, but the fit is amazing and they stay put, without coming off my heels. I wear an 8.5-9 in women’s shoes.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!
