Japanese Finger-Mounted Harvesting Blade

Japanese Finger-Mounted Harvesting Blade
£14.00
Ex Tax: £11.67

A small but handy stainless steel blade formed from a single piece of metal, the other end of which is curled into a finger ring, for use as a harvesting knife. Made by Asano Mokkousho of Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. Usually used on the forefinger and like a pruning knife against the pad of the thumb, this is designed for use picking small and soft fruits, especially amidst dense growth or foliage where use of scissors or knives might prove awkward, or even damaging to plant and crop. The blade is about 3cm long.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
