{"product_id":"niwaki-hori-hori-pro","title":"Niwaki Hori Hori Pro","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-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 (Horii? Horis?) for digging, weeding, planting and cutting, with a subtly profiled FSC certified 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 inscripted Niwaki stamped into the blade for proof of something very special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSK-5 Carbon steel is the same steel Niwaki use in their 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 holy trinity when it comes to hori horiing. It’s pretty damn good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe humble Niwaki Hori Hori has the remarkable knack of instantly becoming everyone’s favourite tool in the garden – the feedback Niwaki gets from happy customers says it all, and it’s not uncommon to bump into a gardener at the end of a hard day’s work on a chilly February afternoon, soggy knees, muddy hands, inane grin (you get the picture) who boasts of the number of snowdrops they’ve just transplanted and how their Hori Hori has saved their life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, the Niwaki Hori Hori Pro is a weed digging, plant dividing, seed drilling, bulb planting, pot scraping, stone prising, ivy removing, back scratching (maybe not this one), life saving, rooting tooting all round game-changer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e170mm blades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax cut Ø10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSK-5 Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSC certified Beech Handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003cstrong style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Canvas Sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest usage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hori Hori Pro arrives with a splodge of varnish to protect the carbon steel from oxidation during transport.
