Wooden handle and hardened carbon steel blade
Made in Japan
The weeding hoe blade is made from hardened carbon steel to provide a blade that will hold its edge. However, carbon steel will rust if stored in damp conditions. After use, clean of any soil and plant material and wipe with an oily rag. The oil will provide a protective coating in the steel and prevent the wood handle from drying and splitting.
Sharpen the blades regularly with a fine sharpening stone or coarse diamond sharpener.
