Three-piece Japanese set for fast digging, weeding, and planting
Forged in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture and dispatched quickly from Perth, this bundle pairs a Banshu Weeding Sickle, a one-handed stainless fork and mattock, and a compact Bonsai Hori Hori. Move from slicing surface weeds to loosening soil and accurate planting without swapping to bulky tools. Ideal for beds, rows, and pots across Australian gardens.
The Banshu sickle uses Yasugi high carbon steel, ground thin for clean pull cuts with minimal soil disturbance. The fork and mattock head is forged from stainless steel for impact strength and corrosion resistance, with a comfortable Japanese timber handle. The Bonsai Hori Hori is forged from carbon steel for a keen working edge and dependable toughness, fitted to a straight hardwood grip with a ferrule-reinforced tang. The three tools are balanced, durable, and sized for everyday control.
- Banshu Weeding Sickle: 180 mm blade; Yasugi high carbon steel; straight hardwood handle; tang set with ferrule
- One-Handed Fork and Mattock: 360 mm overall; 225 mm working head; forged stainless; fitted timber handle
- Bonsai Hori Hori: 300 mm overall; 170 mm blade; 43 mm width; carbon steel blade; hardwood handle; ferrule-reinforced tang
- Made in: Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Brush off soil, dry each blade, and apply a light coat of oil to the carbon steel components after use. Touch up edges as needed. Build out your kit with complementary pieces in Japanese Digging and Weeding Tools and pair with precise cutters from Japanese Sickles.
Tip: Slice weeds at the crown with the sickle, break crusted soil with the mattock, then use the Hori Hori blade length as a depth gauge for consistent planting.
