Worked closely with Jamie to get this shipped to the U.S. as a gift - he’s the best. Would highly recommend buying with a custom engraved box, the workmanship and quality is clear and beautiful. I haven’t given the gift yet, but I know it will be loved - this is an awesome knife. Thank you, Jamie!

Amazing craftsmanship and beautiful solid steel. The hammered pattern is very nice and the weight of the device is the most satisfying bit. Extremely sharp.

Excellent Japanese gardening tool with brilliant coloured handles making them easy to find in the garden! Fast delivery & great communication. Fabulous mostly recyclable packaging
Gyokucho Hori Hori Garden Knife also purchased. What a useful tool!

A beautiful handmade knife! The hammer marks across it's body and blade ensure the uniqueness of each knife, whilst also testifying to the Japanese art of knife-making. The size is perfect for both pocket carry and whittling (with care as it's non-locking of course!). The blade arrived sharp and is perfectly centred. The box with some desiccation gel sachets will keep it's finish along with a light oil after use. It's a work of art that will be cherished in its usage over many years.
I appreciate the way it was carefully packaged by Jamie as it was wrapped within it's own box, as well as wrapped in Japanese newspaper and snuggly fit within a custom wooden box for shipping. Amazing attention to details and care from EW tools.

Bought as a gift for my better half. Now I dont want to give them away. You can see the line of brass where the blue 2 steel has been braized to the body by hand to keep the heat treat. The craftsmanship, materials and finish are of a bygone era where tools where made to function perfectly and last for generations. Something the west has long forgotten by and large. Looking forward to sharpening them for her. In a word, exceptional.

Amazing service, Jamie hand delivered my products the same day I placed the order, couldn't be happier with the quality of both his business and products.

Very quick delivery. I gave the pruning shears a quick test run on some hedge shrubs - very sharp. No complaints, very happy with the product but also supporting quality tools made in Japan

Only recently getting into woodworking and Japanese hand tools, I really had no idea where to start, Jamie helped me pulled together a beautiful collection of tools for me and kept it well under budget. His advice, communication and product were second to none. I’m so excited to start my new adventure and can’t thank Jamie enough for pointing me in the right direction.

Great one-handed shears replacing a pair I lost somewhere in a garden ( I bet they turn up now that I have replacement.
Excellent service from East-West, quick delivery and some Camellia oil thrown in- Nice touch.
Thankyou.

Outstanding service, and are second to none. Thank you to the team at East-West Tools for providing some of the best gardening hand tools available. It has been a pleasure dealing with Jamie and the team, and look forward to doing business with them again in the near future.

Another great tool by Yoshioka Hamono. Love the weight and balance, such a pleasure to use. Thank you Jamie.

Purchased these Yoshioka Hamono EIGATA-KARIKOMI Shears last month, and finally had the opportunity to use them yesterday. What an absolute pleasure to use, great weight and balance and cuts so cleanly. Thank you Jamie.

The only business in Perth that offers Japanese made tools as a specialist. I bought a sickle from him. No-one even sells this type of product in sleepy Perth. Great service, great product offering. I highly recommend this local biz.

Top quality product which does the work with ease.

Great taking the top off weeds that I could chuck straight into my compost bin. I like that the handle size is a little long, does the job well.
