Toyama Hamono R3 Rust & Sap Eraser — a gentle, gummy block that lifts sap, grime and rust from your blades.
Hand-finished in Sanjo, Japan.
The Design Story
Sanjo, in Niigata, has worked metal for centuries, and Toyama Hamono has forged shears there since 1861. The workshop still uses tanzo, traditional forging, and finishes every pair by hand: the meeting of the blades, the smoothness of the pivot, the balance in your palm. Their stated aim is simple: tools made to stay, not to be replaced. Japan’s Good Design Award and a Sustainable Garden Product of the Show title at Melbourne’s 2023 flower and garden show followed.
Why You’ll Love It
It works like a pencil eraser for steel: rub, and the sap and spots come away. The block is soft and only lightly abrasive, and it is thin enough to get close to the pivot. A minute after a pruning session keeps carbon-steel blades bright.
Made for Real Life
Keep it with your shears, in the shed or on the potting bench, and it will be ready when you need it. Also see the Toyama Hamono R2 Slim Whetstone for Shears.

Questions We Hear Most
Why use the R3 rust and sap eraser instead of steel wool?
It is soft and only gently abrasive, made by a shear maker for its own blades, and thin enough for the tight space near the pivot.
How often should I use the R3 rust and sap eraser?
Whenever sap or grime builds up or you spot surface rust; a quick rub keeps the action smooth.
Does the R3 rust and sap eraser wear out?
Like any eraser, it wears down gradually with use.
What pairs with the R3 rust and sap eraser?
The R2 slim whetstone for sharpening after cleaning.
When will the R3 rust and sap eraser leave the warehouse?
