Nisaku 178 Japanese Delta Hoe | Sankaku

Nisaku 178 Delta Hoe

A precise hoe for cultivating, planting and furrowing, built around a 140mm curved stainless steel blade. The triangular sankaku shape gives a fine point for detail work and a wide face for chipping, so one tool handles both close cultivation and general bed preparation.

A fine point for precise work

The blade is sharpened on two faces to a fine point, an excellent chipping hoe for cultivation, planting and furrowing, including backfilling seed rows and new plants.

Heat-treated stainless steel

The blade is heat-treated stainless steel. Stainless steel resists rust and is straightforward to keep sharp, so the tool stays ready to use through repeated seasons in the garden.

Lightweight without compromise

A 300mm lacquered hardwood handle keeps the tool robust but lightweight at 240g, with a black finish for protection and a clean, considered look.
