Japanese Digging Knives

New Style Available - Now Comes In Carbon Steel
Stock Number Item Description Availability Price Order Qty
16E02.01 Japanese Digging Knife (stainless steel)
In Stock $39.50  
36J02.07 Japanese Digging Knife (carbon steel)
In Stock $39.50  


Wood handle, 6-3/4" long serrated steel forged blade will even cut through roots. The back side (underneath) is curved slightly to give it a scooping capability.

The Stainless Steel Knife (with the red wood handle) will never rust, but as it is less stiff than a plain Carbon Steel blade, it may flex a bit in heavy clay-like soils. The Carbon Steel Knife (natural colored handle) will never flex, although it will rust if not cleaned off after use and kept lightly oiled. You know which meets your standards best.

Wrist Saver
Reviewed By:  Lisa (Sunnyvale, CA) 
I just started using my Japanese knife this week, for weeding. Wow! If I had one of these when I started weeding at age 14, I might not have the wrist injury I have today. I will keep this by my side when I'm gardening. It does what the skinny little forked weeders, and the trowels, can't do - and can take the pressure without bending, and gets under the ground far enough that they won't come back. Saved me a LOT of time yesterday.

Metal Detecting
Reviewed By:  Mike Whitaker (Mason, Tennessee) 
Excellent for metal detecting: can scalp out divot and go deeper in rotational cuts. Most detecting is shallow near surface soil movement since no detectors are truly exact. The plastic holster with Japanese characters is an insulting piece of crap. Wrap it in duct tape along with the handles for comfort.

Disappointed
Reviewed By:  Richard Hart (E. Stroudsburg, PA) 
The sheath is cheap looking and loses class with the Japanese symbols (what the heck does it say anyway?). The handle should be replaced by the handle on the stainless steel model - feels and looks like carved 2x4. The blade looks like it was just forged with heat scarring still evident.
