{Information}Care Instructions

Do not use the tool to lever out weeds and soil in heavy soil.

The blade is made of carbon steel. Carbon steel blades must be treated to avoid rusting. Japanese traditionally use Camellia (Tsubaki) Oil to treat carbon steel tools. Other suitable oils may also be used. Ensure the blade is clean and dry before applying Camellia Oil. Simply wipe the blade with a clean cloth impregnated with Camellia Oil. Re-apply after each use.

Although the blade is made of hardened steel, they're not impervious to misuse. Only use for the specified activity on this page. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Dropping the tool onto a hard surface may cause the blade to break. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure while cutting. Cutting should occur along the section of the edge(s) closest to the handle. Cutting at the point or tip runs the risk of snapping the blade.

To get the most out of your hori hori, sharpen regularly.
