Niwaki Hori Hori Pro

A versatile garden tool designed for precision and durability, the Niwaki Hori Hori Pro combines craftsmanship with function. Hand-forged by third-generation artisans in Miki, Hyogo—one of Japan's most renowned regions for horticultural blacksmithing—this tool is indispensable for any serious gardener.

Made from SK-5 carbon steel, the blade is exceptionally sharp and durable, capable of tackling tasks like digging, weeding, planting, and cutting with ease. Its FSC-certified Beech handle is thoughtfully shaped for long-lasting comfort during extended use. The Hori Hori Pro includes a durable canvas sheath for safe storage and convenient access. For gardeners seeking a leather sheath to complement their existing holster collection, a premium leather option is available separately here.

The blade is stamped with Niwaki's distinctive kanji, ensuring authenticity and a connection to its heritage. The SK-5 carbon steel is meticulously formulated with a balance of carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, and other elements, creating the perfect combination of strength, edge retention, and durability. These qualities make the Hori Hori Pro an invaluable companion for everyday gardening tasks, from planting bulbs and dividing perennials to cutting roots and removing weeds.

A light protective varnish coats the blade to prevent oxidation during transport, and this layer will naturally wear off with use. Gardeners around the world praise this tool for its reliability and versatility, often calling it their "go-to" for any gardening challenge. Whether you're a seasoned horticulturist or a passionate hobbyist, the Niwaki Hori Hori Pro will quickly become a trusted favorite in your collection.
