How We Use our Tools
Technique and Care Tips
Hori Hori
We use our Hori Hori for digging, cutting roots, tamping, and measuring.
HOT TIP:
We recommend cleaning the blade before putting it back in the sheath to avoid rust.
Hand Saw
Our Japanese Folding Hand Saw is perfect for detail cutting and for sawing large branches.
HOT TIP:
Keep the blade dry to avoid rust. Saw can also be opened beyond being straight for to make angled cuts.
Pruners
Our Japanese Pruners are clean cutting and durable with an ergonomic grip.
HOT TIP:
When sharpening more the sharpening stone in one motion swiping up to the tip of the blade. Don't rub the sharpening stone.
Scissors
Our Ashinaga and Higurashi Scissors are perfect for detailed cutting with small sharp blades that act like knives and scissors.
HOT TIP:
We use our scissors for harvesting in the garden, cutting in the kitchen and for traditional pruning.
