Left-Handed Japanese Kogama Sickle Hoe
£12.50
Ex Tax: £10.42
A small professional grade weeding hoe hand forged of Hitachi SK steel fixed to a magnolia wood handle. From Asano Mokkousho, of Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture Japan. A rare left-handed Japanese made razor type hoe, the angle is set and the blade sharpened for optimum weeding efficiency helping to minimise fatigue whilst working. In tighter situations the hoe can be used point down for more accurate work. Being carbon steel these can rust if left wet or stored damp, and are best lightly oiled if left for extended periods. The blade measure about 10.5cm, the handle 24cm.
Care Advice
Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
