Niwaki Hori Hori Pro
Japanese weeding trowel + canvas sheath
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. Our new generation Hori Hori is forged from SK-5 carbon steel, making it sharper and tougher than other Hori (Horii? Horis?) 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 inscripted 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 â the holy trinity when it comes to hori horiing. Itâs pretty damn good.
The humble Niwaki Hori Hori has the remarkable knack of instantly becoming everyoneâs favourite tool in the garden â the feedback we get from happy (read â borderline obsessive) customers says it all, and itâs not uncommon to bump into a gardener at the end of a hard dayâs work on a chilly February afternoon, soggy knees, muddy hands, inane grin (you get the picture) who boasts of the number of snowdrops theyâve just transplanted and how their Hori Hori has saved their life.
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, back scratching (maybe not this one), life saving, rooting tooting all round game-changer. Hyperbole? Never heard of him.
