Care & maintenance
We’re constantly finding new ways to become more sustainable, so we only select products that are built to last. We recommend that you use your weeding hoe correctly to extend its lifespan.
Use it correctly:
- 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 (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)
- Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
- Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
- Pay attention to our maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
Keep it clean
- Remove leaf resin, rust and gunk with a Crean Mate and water
- Dry, wipe over with Camellia oil and store in a dry place

Warranty
2 year manufacturer's warranty
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. The new generation Hori Hori is forged from SK-5 carbon steel, making it sharper and tougher than other Hori Hori 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 inscribed 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.
The humble Niwaki Hori Hori has the remarkable knack of instantly becoming everyone’s favourite tool in the garden. 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, life saving, rooting tooting all round game-changer.
Clean. Oil. Snip
Elevate your garden game: maintain like a master
Maintaining Niwaki tools is simple with the right care. After use, clean blades with Clean Mate, keep them lubricated with Camellia oil, and periodically sharpen using Niwaki sharpening stones. This routine ensures your shears, saws, and pruners stay precise, durable, and ready for effortless garden work season after season.
