Clear Sap Build-Up and Restore a Smooth Cutting Feel

Razorsaw YaniPika is a dedicated sap and pitch cleaner for garden and workshop tools. Use it to dissolve sticky resin on saw teeth, secateur blades, shears, and knives so they cut cleanly again. Stock held in Perth for fast dispatch across Australia. Works alongside your sharpening and oiling routine.

Developed by Razorsaw in Japan, YaniPika targets the gummy build-up that increases friction and leaves drag marks in timber and green material. Apply to the blade surface, allow a short dwell, then wipe away residue. Rinse or wipe with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly, and protect with a light coat of maintenance oil. Suitable for carbon and stainless tool steels and compatible with lacquered or wood handles when used as directed and kept to metal surfaces.

Build a complete care kit by pairing YaniPika with a stone for sharpening and finishing with camellia oil from our Garden tool maintenance collection. For a simple upkeep plan, see our guide East West Tools Care & Maintenance. Browse precision cutters that benefit most from a clean blade in Japanese Precision garden tools.

Tip: Clean first to remove resin, then hone. Pitch on the bevel masks true sharpness and shortens stone life.

Introducing

Razorsaw Japan

Razorsaw is a Japanese maker known for precision pull saws and practical accessories that support sharp, accurate cutting. The brand focuses on reliable performance in daily use, from timber work to garden care. YaniPika sits within that approach, giving users a simple way to clear sticky resin so tools keep their clean feel at the cut.

Attention to small details defines Razorsaw products. Edges are designed to start easily and track straight, which depends on clean, low-friction blades. A dedicated sap cleaner pairs with sharpening and light oiling to complete the cycle. Keep your maintenance simple and your tools will reward you with smooth, precise cuts.

What Sets Our Tools Apart

Why remove sap before sharpening

Resin builds a glossy film on bevels and teeth that increases friction and hides the true edge. Sharpening on top of pitch clogs stones and wastes time. A quick YaniPika clean removes the film so the stone cuts fresh steel, giving a keener edge and smoother glide. You will notice cleaner cuts on green wood and less tearing on delicate stems. Make cleaning the first step in your care routine, not the last.

Fast routine for busy gardeners

A simple habit keeps tools performing. Wipe off soil, apply YaniPika to the blade, wait briefly, then rub away residue. Rinse or damp-wipe, dry, and add a drop of oil to the pivot or blade. This five-step routine takes minutes after a job and prevents heavy build-up that can lead to corrosion. Pair with products from our Garden tool maintenance collection for a compact, go-anywhere kit.

Made in Japan for precision tools

Razorsaw builds products for accurate cutting, so their cleaner is tuned to what sharp tools need. YaniPika targets sticky pitch without harsh abrasion, helping saws and pruners keep that easy starting bite. It suits Japanese pull saws, bypass secateurs, and fine shears used for detail tasks. Keep a bottle in your kit and your tools ready for work all season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is YaniPika safe on carbon steel and stainless blades?

Yes. Apply to the metal only, wipe off, then rinse or damp-wipe and dry fully. Finish with a light coat of oil to protect the edge.

Will it damage handle finishes or labels?

Keep application on the blade. Avoid soaking wooden handles, painted ferrules, or paper labels. If contact occurs, wipe off promptly.

How often should I use it?

Use whenever resin is visible or the tool starts to drag. Clean, then hone. Regular light cleaning keeps edges sharper for longer.

Can I use it on pruning saws and secateurs?

Yes. It works on saw teeth, secateur blades, and shears. After cleaning, dry completely and apply oil to prevent corrosion.
