Nisaku garden tools are made by Tomita Cutlery Co., Ltd. in Tsubame, Niigata, a town famous across Japan for its metalwork. Tomita Cutlery was founded in 1959 and has spent decades working with stainless steel.
That experience shows in the Nisaku range: hori hori digging knives, sickles, hoes, weeders and hatchets made from tough stainless steel that resists rust and holds a useful edge. They are practical, hard-wearing tools for gardeners, landscapers, foragers and campers who want Japanese quality without the extra care that carbon steel needs.

For the hard-working gardener, keeping your most-used tool within reach isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. The Hori Hori with Tough Sheath is built for exactly that.
This upgraded version of the classic Nisaku Hori Hori features a hardened scabbard that clips securely onto your belt, tool bucket, or garden webbing—keeping your knife close at hand and safely stowed when not in use. Its clever locking mechanism clicks firmly into place, preventing accidental slips or lost tools while you move through your day.
The blade itself is everything you'd expect from a Hori Hori: dual-edged with one straight and one serrated side for slicing through roots, digging into soil, cutting twine, dividing plants, and even harvesting herbs. The scalloped stainless steel profile functions like a trowel, while the etched depth markings (in both mm and inches) help you plant bulbs and seedlings at just the right depth.
With a slightly extended hardwood handle and precise grooves that lock into the sheath’s teeth, this knife is purpose-built for all-day use and all-weather reliability.
From garden beds to backcountry trails, this tool earns its spot at your side.
