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 Hori Hori is forged from SK-5 carbon steel, making it sharper and tougher than other Hori Hori 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. If in any doubt look for the kanji inscribed Niwaki stamped into the blade for proof of something very special.

SK-5 Carbon steel is the same steel we use in our Garden Shears, with 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 humble Niwaki Hori Hori has the remarkable knack of instantly becoming everyone’s favourite tool in the garden. In short, the Niwaki Hori Hori Pro is a weed digging, plant dividing, seed drilling, bulb planting, pot scraping, stone prising, ivy removing, snail flicking, life saving, rooting tooting all round game-changer.
