Sashigane Squares

The Hori hori knife lives up to its reputation. Since purchasing, it’s become my go-to tool. It’s terrific for digging planting holes in difficult (and easy) soil, for weeding, for planting.
I recently used it to saw through and dig up a big iris clump. Because of its manoeuvrability, I ended up with 75 great pieces of iris with good fresh rhizome attached. The serrated edge helped with cutting through.
Thoroughly recommend!

So far, I have only used the flush cut and fine cut blades. Both performed exactly as described. Blade changeover is simple, quick and easy, and works really well. No movement in the blade at all. Brilliant.

Great little roll to pair with the drill bits. Organises and protects then well in the tool box. Has little pouches for drill stops and other small attachments

One of the most satisfying things you can buy. Beautifully made and very precise in adjustment. Obviously for fine work I use them for model making and lutherie.
Think carefully about the sizes you need. Too long can be as awkward as too short.

I really love my Japanese tool box for my bonsai tools
The box has lots of room for storage and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to protect the edge of there tools

Absolutely one of the besttool sI have for the garden, brilliant!

Doing exactly as advertised cut my sharpening time in half

I absolutely love this tool. It is very high quality, moves smoothly and is easy to use. Very useful to be able to repeatably and accurately set a dimension for marking out. I am always looking for an excuse to use it. I have this one and the 300mm version and both are great!

Decided to experiment with a new kanaban using grease based grinding paste - Chemico coarse and fine - to avoid rust.
Really interesting feel of the tool on the plate - the grease seems to suck the tool down onto the flat reference surface, avoiding the skating you can get on diamond stones. And of course a LOT cheaper than diamond plates.
Not having to apply pressure is a huge bonus.
Let’s see how this goes over time but initially impressed.

Wonderful light all purpose hammer. Beautifully balanced for accurate work. As a potter I have many varied uses for it ranging from working wood with a chisel to beating my copper teapot handles. A great companion for my Kozuchi hammer.
Highly recommended.

Brought a smoothing plane 58mm and I’m So happy with my purchase, super sharp and worked perfectly as soon as I had it setup with heaps of help from the videos , planning to buy more items soon

These shears are very sharp and give a smooth, clean cut. They are great for fine work where precision is required.

I bought a pair of these for my wife, for her birthday. She loves them: they are sharp, maintain their edge and have a nice, positive action and good ergonomics.
A good present, I think.

If you, like me, love to sharpen your blades with a whetstone, then this sturdy and convenient holder should be paired with your favourite whetstone for a rewarding sharpening experience. Recommended

I purchased a it for thinning out bamboo. It gets into the smallest spaces. It's long reach makes it a great a all-round pruner. Very good for reducing bending. I wish I had seen it years ago. Great quality.
