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.

Perfect for ball demolishers
Size: Medium
The dogs love the chuck it brand. I don’t know what it’s made of but they go crazy over them. Will not play with another ball. Wonder if it’s “laced” with an addictive scent. Have pits. Very durable. Not able to chew to pieces. Last for about 6 months before there is a small break. I keep a back up because when the ball goes missing the house is in chaos. 😆 🤪

Chuckit medium rebound balls
Size: Medium
My 8 month old German shepherd dog loves these balls. They are easy to throw, they bounce great, they are very chewable! She keeps one in her mouth most of the time. It satisfies her need to chew and she does not chew other things. She drops it in the water and lets the hole fill up and drinks that way. The only problem that has caused is suction in her mouth and difficulty in dislodging it for her. However, she would be lost without it!

These are definitely indestructible
Size: Medium
Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.
