Made in Japan
One blade, many functions. A life-saving, game-changing garden tool. Hand-made and designed especially for Niwaki by third generation family craftsmen in Miki, deep in Hyogo, one of the heartlands of horticultural blacksmithing in Japan. The new generation 6.7" Hori Hori Pro blade is forged from SK-5 carbon steel, making it sharper and tougher than other Hori tools for digging, weeding, planting and cutting, with a subtly profiled FSC Beech handle for sustained use, and of course the accompanying Canvas Sheath for easy access and safe storage. SK-5 Carbon steel has just the right proportions of Carbon, Chromium, Nickel, Manganese, Silicon, Phosphorous, Copper and Sulphur to create the perfect balance of tensile strength, edge retention and toughness – the holy trinity when it comes to hori horiing.
Niwaki ("garden tree" in Japanese) is a UK-based company known for bringing durable, practical, and stylish Japanese designs to a global audience, offering a blend of traditional craftsmanship with refined utility.
CARE
Keep your knife in top shape by cleaning thoroughly removing things such as leaf resin or rust, sharpening with a #1000 grit stone, protecting with Camellia Oil, and store dry. Avoid cutting anything too tough such as knots, burrs or hard materials, your knife will thank you.
