The Japanese hand tool is among our hardest working tools on the farm. It’s so great at getting under the roots of crabgrass that I had to order more for us all to use. Now we wouldn’t want to be without one.

Japanese Hand Hoe, left or right handed
The Japanese Hand Hoe has become our favorite hand tools. The combination of the angle of the blade and the sharp edge helps to make quick work of most weeding tasks.
- Overall 13"
- Blade is 5"
- Blade is forged of high carbon steel
- Maintains a sharp edge
- Available in left or right handed
It takes out carpets of weeds in one swipe! We use it most often in newly planted beds that have not been mulched yet. They quickly get covered with little weeds and this tool allows us to get right next to our seedlings and swipe away the unwanted weeds.

I appreciate having a left-hand hoe; I use both this and the right hand one to get a good angle on weeds. It is really helping me plow through the weed roots so I can get a new lawn going.

This wonderful garden tool acts like an extension of your hand. It not only gets rid of weeds and such, but the perfect hole digger for plants. Makes quick work of trenches for sprinkler systems and removes River rocks with ease. Truly an amazing tool in its unlimited uses.

The Japanese hand hoe is a great tool! Makes quick work of loosening soil and removing small weeds when we are planting our seedlings. The service at The Gardner’s Workshop is always superb. Delivery was fast and everything was packaged perfectly! Highly recommend TGW and this hoe.
