Niwaki hori hori with canvas holster

Niwaki hori hori with canvas holster
£34.50
Ex Tax: £28.75
A carbon steel, beech handled gardening knife with canvas holster. Hori-hori means dig-dig so these can be considered a kind of digging or soil knife used for weeding, planting, and historically for the careful extraction of prized bonsai specimens. Although it keeps a better edge for longer, carbon steel should be kept clean and dry in order to avoid rust, and oiled if put away for long term storage, or kept anywhere at all damp. 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. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
