A superior hand hoe.

Hand-forged. Hand 3-tine hoe.

Lightweight and easy to use. This Japanese hand hoe is made with hand-forged steel.
The steel is compressed through forging and combined with a unique hardening process, making it durable and resistant to breaking. The sharpened blade easily digs into the soil for easy excavation. The total length of 400mm is just right for swinging with one hand. Its exquisite weight allows for long hours of work without fatigue. This one-handed hoe is recommended for digging and replanting soil in fields and flowerbeds, as well as for weeding, especially when kneeling or crouching. It is convenient for working in narrow spaces.
The 3-tine hoe is used for breaking up clods of soil and digging. The narrow spacing between the blades prevents soil and stones from easily escaping, making it ideal for fine soil preparation. It is more suitable for digging in clay soil than a four-pronged hoe.

Amenoma Check!

Only a few agricultural blacksmiths in Japan put this much effort into their work. The durability of the blade is completely different between forged and non-forged tools. You can work with confidence, without worrying about the blade bending. The blade angle is set to easily penetrate the soil while crouching. Digging becomes effortless. This tool can be cherished for a long time, but continuous outdoor exposure will lead to rust and corrosion of the blade, rendering it unusable. After use, store it in a well-ventilated area away from rain. If the blade becomes loose after many years of use, simply hammer a "wedge" into it to secure it.
