Nisaku

Nisaku is the garden- and hand-tool brand of Tomita Cutlery Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer based in Tsubame, Niigata — the heart of Japan's renowned Tsubame-Sanjo metalworking region — with more than 50 years of blade- and scraper-making experience. The company designs and produces a wide range of stainless steel tools, including the world-famous "Hori Hori" garden knife, sickles, hoes and rakes, weeding brushes, nata hatchets, paint scrapers, putty knives, confectionery and caulking spatulas, and kitchen scissors. Every product is made in Japan from fully hardened stainless tool steel — and premium DSR-1K6 cutlery steel on select models — then mirror- or electro-polished for excellent rust resistance, lasting sharpness, and an edge that can be re-sharpened for years of use. Renowned overseas, especially in North America, for its versatile Hori Hori digging knife, Nisaku exports its precision Japanese tools to gardeners, craftsmen, and professionals around the world.
