Niwaki Pro Hori Hori Knife

SK-5 carbon steel is prized for its exceptional hardness and edge retention. It is tough enough to handle digging and cutting through roots without chipping, though it does require regular maintenance to prevent rust.

Because this is high-carbon steel, it will oxidize if left wet. After each use, wipe the blade clean and dry it thoroughly; applying a light coat of camellia oil or mineral oil before storage will provide a protective barrier against moisture.

Yes, the FSC Beech handle is ergonomically profiled to fit naturally in the palm, making it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. The shape is designed to reduce strain during repetitive tasks like weeding or planting.

While the forged construction is incredibly durable, it is best used for weeding, planting, and light cultivation. Avoid using it as a pry bar in extremely rocky or compacted ground to protect the integrity of the blade edge.

Yes, the included 16oz canvas sheath is designed to slide easily onto a standard belt, keeping the tool secure and accessible while you move around the garden.
