Choose an option to view item availability.
Unlike conventional trowels, this Japanese version combines features of a knife blade and a trowel. Designed to easily cut through roots and penetrate soil, it is ideal for dividing plants, weeding and transplanting.
The 7" long by 3 1/2" wide forged carbon-steel blade comes ground to a keen edge, and has a relatively flat profile, making it easy to maintain the edge with a file. The Japanese oak handle is fastened with a steel ferrule.
Available with a 7" handle or with a 17 1/2" handle for extra reach.
Also available as a set.
The short 7" handle gives you close control for detail work like dividing small plants, while the long 17 1/2" handle adds reach for standing tasks such as edging. Choose the long handle if you'd rather avoid bending over.
Yes, this Japanese trowel's blade severs roots cleanly, which makes dividing perennial clumps easier than working with a standard trowel alone.
Run a standard file along the blade's relatively flat profile to restore the edge; the pre-sharpened factory edge is easy to maintain this way.
The blade is forged carbon steel, chosen for the edge retention needed to cut through roots and packed earth repeatedly.
Not necessarily right away, but carbon steel will corrode if left wet, so wipe the blade dry and store it indoors between uses.
