A compact classic with serious capability — the Matsuo Garden Hoe is a traditional Japanese tool designed for cultivating soil, weeding, and shaping garden beds with ease.
Forged in Sanjō, Japan — a region renowned for its blacksmithing heritage — this hand hoe is made from high-carbon steel and iron, built to last and keep its sharp edge through season after season of hard work. Ideal for precision tasks like forming narrow trenches, mounding soil around plants, or harvesting root crops, this versatile tool is a favourite for both everyday maintenance and more intricate garden jobs.
It’s lightweight (just 187g), beautifully balanced, and small enough to manoeuvre in tight garden beds or containers — a go-to for home gardeners and professionals alike.
