Niwaki

Niwaki's Hori Hori Japanese Trowel is an all-round weeder, bulb-planter supreme, and general subterranean rummager. Its carbon steel blade runs right into the handle for a full-tang construction, so it’s tough and strong. Perfect for planting bulbs, weeding, and all sorts of gardening!

The included durable canvas sheath helps keep the blade protected in your garden tool caddy, and also can be hung on a belt loop with Niwaki's Belt Clip.

S50C carbon steel, beech wood handle, 12 oz. canvas

Use

Although considerably stronger than a regular trowel, the mighty Hori Hori is not invincible. Do not stick it in to heavy soil and yank back hard—it’s much more efficient used in an in-and-out action.

Care

Carbon steel is very hard, sharp, and retains its sharpness better than stainless steel. However, it is more prone to rusting, and can be more brittle than some people are used to—it will chip if abused, and must be treated with a little more care.

If you are using the trowel for an extended potting session, we recommend keeping a clean, dry cloth handy and giving the prongs an occasional wipe, especially if it's getting wet.
After using, remove leaf residue, rust and gunk with a Clean Mate and water. Dry with a clean cloth and wipe with Camellia Oil. Store in a dry place.
