Description

Two essential Japanese tools for fast, tidy bed work

Built in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture and dispatched from Perth, this two-piece bundle combines a Banshu 180 mm weeding sickle with a compact Bonsai Hori Hori. The set is designed to handle precise surface weeding, digging, planting and dividing in beds, pots and tight rows.

The Banshu sickle uses Yasugi high carbon steel, ground thin for easy entry and a clean pull cut with minimal soil disturbance. The Hori Hori is forged from carbon steel for a tough working edge, with a 170 mm blade and 43 mm width for everyday garden control. Both tools are fitted with straight hardwood handles and ferrule-reinforced tangs.

Use the sickle for surface weeds and edging, then switch to the Hori Hori for planting and dividing. Together they streamline common bed work without needing bulkier garden tools.

What Sets Our Tools Apart

One kit, two core tasks

This pair covers the bulk of bed work. The Banshu sickle slices weeds at the crown with minimal soil disturbance, keeping edges and paths neat. The compact Hori Hori then handles digging holes, dividing plants, and levering compact soil. Switching between the two is faster than swapping to larger tools, so you finish jobs quickly without losing accuracy.

Forged in Miki, built to last

Both tools are made in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture. The sickle’s Yasugi high carbon steel is ground thin for a sharp pull cut. The Hori Hori’s carbon steel gives a tough working edge. Straight hardwood handles keep weight down and control high, with ferrule-reinforced tangs for strength. Simple, proven construction makes them reliable daily drivers.

Care that keeps edges working

Rinse or brush off soil, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil to both blades. Touch up edges as needed so cuts stay clean and effortless. Store the tools dry between sessions. When maintained this way, the sickle keeps slicing at the surface and the Hori Hori keeps digging and dividing without fuss.
