Hori Hori and Holster

Whether planting bulbs, weeding your vegetable garden, or removing stubborn roots, the Niwaki Hori Hori will quickly become your go-to tool. Beautifully hand-crafted in Japan, this multi-purpose garden knife makes light work of any gardening task. The sharp, high-quality carbon steel blade ensures clean and efficient cutting and the beautiful beech handle provides a comfortable grip. When not in use, the holster keeps the blade — and your hands — safe while the convenient belt clip allows for easy access on the go. You'll wonder how you ever gardened without it.

Although Japanese carbon steel is durable, it can chip if mishandled, so use with care.

Niwaki’s products are crafted to last for years. With proper care, the Japanese carbon steel will stay sharp and usable, and your Niwaki products can be passed onto future generations.

• Niwaki Use + Care Instructions

  Correct Use:

  • Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused
  • Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material
  • Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
  • Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
  • Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts

  Keeping Them Clean:

  • Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with water and a rough cloth
  • Dry, wipe over with oil and store in a dry place

  Keeping Them Sharp:

  New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge. Use our Niwaki Maintenance Kit for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).

  • Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
  • Sharpen Shears every time you use them - the difference is amazing
