This Niwaki Hori Hori Japanese trowel is a fabulous all round weeding and planting trowel.
Excellent for planting bulbs and also great for all that rummaging around in the soil and the many other uses you will no doubt find for it around the garden.
A popular and well used tool by many gardeners.
Features a carbon steel blade which goes right into the Beech wood handle, so it’s made to be tough and strong but should not be considered invincible. We wouldn’t therefor advise sticking it into a heavy soil and yanking it back hard, it’s much more efficient used in an in-out action.
Comes supplied with a tough khaki colour canvas sheath.

Caring For Your Tools
Most of our Japanese garden tools are made from carbon steel - this means they will, through regular use, stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their edge. Caring for them involves three things…
1. 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 (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 the maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)
- Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
2. Keeping them 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
Â
3. Keeping them Sharp:
New tools won’t need sharpening for some time, but after a while you’ll notice them gradually lose their edge, especially if you’re box clipping (you need REALLY sharp blades to get a good finish with box). Use the Niwaki Sharpening Stones for best results (#1000 grit is best for general sharpening).
- Sharpen Secateurs every couple of weeks
- Sharpen Shears and Topiary Clippers EVERY TIME you use them - the difference is amazing

Excellent products & excellent service.
So glad to have discovered Creeper & Knotweed and that I can buy Niwaki products from you. Your prices are very competitive and delivery was speedy. Products were wrapped carefully in fully recyclable packaging which was neat enough to be simply labelled and then given as a gift. Thankyou.
