HACHIEMON Japanese Weeding Tool Very Sharp Edge Nejiri Gama - Made in Japan

I love the precision and the sharpness of the blade. It made weeding extremely easy compared to the $50 Fiskars 4 claw standup weeder, which is great for 1 large weed but useless if there is a cluster of weeds. The Hachiemon weeding tool is great for a single weed and clusters. I cleared my front yard this summer with the help of this tool before reseeding. Highly recommend this.

This tool easily slices through the dirt, getting under the roots of small weeds so you can just pick up the loose weeds for a super clean garden. The pointy end works well for grass clumps or weeds with deeper roots. Weeds are sneaky and often try to grow right alongside the plants but you can get close to the plant without damaging it with this precision tool.

I bought this tool for weeding, when I just want to cut the weeds off just below the ground/mulch surface. The tool is very sharp and cut through the weeds effortlessly. To save me from crawling under bushes or under lower tree branches, I bought a second tool and fastened it to a broom handle using radiator clamps. Now I can reach 6-7 feet under branches and do my weeding. Additionally, if you chose, you could walk around your property with the tool on the broom handle and do all of your weeding standing up. No need to get on your hands and knees anymore.

I've tried many garden weeding tools before and this is clearly the best. Very sturdy, well made, and ergonomic. I have a garden full of spiny succulents and I appreciate the fine point on this tool that lets me reach for weeds next to a spiny plant, without risking injury to my hand.

Works well, very handy to remove weeds

Purchased to cut wide range of unwanted foliage, from grasses to half-inch thick weed trucks and roots. Was not very sharp to begin with, so I filed a better edge. Dud an excellent job. I wish the tool had more weight, both in the metal blade and neck, but particularly in the wooden handle;!it could then be in wielded with greater force and ease. Nevertheless, it was a kick to use!

Wow, those Japanese inventors really know how to build a gardening tool that has changed my life!! I have so many weeds in my garden, especially crab grass, which is relentless. It’s almost beaten me into gardening retirement, but not anymore!! This little weeder has a powerful blade and an ease of use that has allowed me to make waste of so much crab grass with much less effort. Of course, it will be back again in the spring, but at least I have a chance to keep up with it, and even make progress. I do not use toxic weed killers, so love this alternative that is so fast and effective. It is sharp, keep away from children!!

LOVE this tool. High quality go to tool for loosening soil, removing weeds, even digging holes for planting plants. I reach for it on every trip to the garden and after over a year of being well used, feels like new.

Brilliant tool, my favourite and the one I reach for ALL Season long. Breaks up soil, easily disturbs weeds - even big deep ones. Perfect tool of tidying edges, cuts roots for transplanting and in a pitch helps planting annuals. Ive gifted this tool to friends. Love it.

I’ve now been using this tool for most of the summer. It enables me to cultivate around my plants regardless of the soil condition. I’ve been able to get down and pull out an awful lot of bindweed. It allowed me to break up so not so great soil so that I could amend it and do planting if you have one tool that you’ll use this is it. Beautiful quality, nice sharp blade. I cannot recommend this enough.

Ordered one. Inspected and used. Wow, cuts through weeds at soil level like butter. Ordered another. Will put longer handle on second one. I have large hands so added a rubber bicycle hand grip ordered on Amazon. Around $10 for four handle pack. These were just under 1” bore. See photo for the installed handle grip. Much better for me. Rubber handle is easy to put on. Start end of grip on handle. Place cutting head with its sheath on on the floor. Pull rubber at entry point while smacking the end of rubber handle with the flat of your palm. The inrush of air into the small hole in end of handle “fluidizes” the air space around the wooden handle and you will note it creeping downward. It’s effective. Be patient and you will achieve great results. The first photo shows the two tools back to back. Note the superb attachment to handle. Front and back. I bought these for this reason. This attachment is far, far superior to other similar tools where a round handle is welded at one point. That is guaranteed to fail and break at the weld. A superb garden tool. Love it. Clean carefully after use. Lightly oil and sharpen if necessary. Sheath it and definitely keep out of reach of children. The cutting edge is razor sharp. Use it only wearing proper footgear. No sandals, exposed toes etc. Boots or leather shoes preferred. This is an effective ground cover at soil cutting and removal tool. Gets a 10 from me!

I really like this tool, it has sharp blade and the angle is perfect for weeding! I bought a second one for a gift!

This year I've been so much busier than usual. Juggling a full-time job and a newborn, my garden has taken a neglectful hit. I bought this weeding sickle and it works incredibly well. As long I take care of it, and keep it sharp, it will save me a lot of weeding time. I'm guessing it can rust easily, so I take care of the blade as I would a knife. The blade has held up against stones here and there as well. Very pleased with this purchase.
