Niwaki

Style

Niwaki's one-handed weeding hoe is the enemy of unwanted weeds everywhere. This clever tool features a sharp carbon steel blade to slice through weeds in flower beds and vegetable gardens, making quick work of clearing the area. It's also useful for digging out rows for seeds and soil preparation.

Available in right- and left-handed versions, it offers a comfortable grip for any user and features the Niwaki logo subtly imprinted on the wood handle.

Materials

carbon steel, wood handle, vinyl sheath

Use

Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Even bamboo fibers and hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage the steel blade.

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 hoe for an extended weeding 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.
