Mirror-polished DSR-1K6 stainless steel, a dual straight and serrated edge and a contoured non-slip handle combine to make it one of the most useful tools you can carry in the garden. Made in Japan by Nisaku using Tomita manufacturing techniques established in 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDSR-1K6 stainless steel — harder and longer-lasting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from fully quenched DSR-1K6 stainless steel rated at HRC58 — a higher specification than the steel used in most standard garden knives. The result is a blade that is harder, stronger and holds its edge significantly longer between sharpenings. The mirror-polished finish resists rust and cleans easily after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe straight edge slices cleanly through weeds, roots and plant material while the serrated edge saws through tougher roots, cuts string and opens landscaping bags with a single stroke. Depth markings engraved on the blade allow you to plant seedlings and bulbs at precisely the right depth without guessing. In the Australian garden, where compacted soils, fibrous roots and persistent weeds make a strong-bladed tool essential, the Yamagatana earns its place quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContoured non-slip handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is ergonomically contoured with a textured non-slip finish that provides a firm, secure grip through wet and dry conditions. At 14cm the handle is sized for comfortable one-handed use with good control across a range of tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSR-1K6 stainless steel at HRC58 — harder and longer-lasting than standard garden knives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror-polished blade with straight edge and serrated edge for dual cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth markings engraved on blade for precise planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured non-slip handle for a secure grip in all conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 220g — easy to carry and use for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes protective pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Nisaku using Tomita manufacturing techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUses in the garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeeding and cutting through tough roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting seedlings and bulbs at measured depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting string, twine and landscaping materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDividing root clumps and transplanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral cutting and garden knife tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 19cm (7.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 14cm (5.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 220g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade steel: DSR-1K6 stainless steel, HRC58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes protective pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace of origin: Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe blade clean after use and dry thoroughly to maintain the mirror finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of oil if storing for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the included pouch to protect the blade edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Japanese Gardening Tool Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/minimalistgardener.com.au\/collections\/japanese-gardening-tools\"\u003eShop all our Japanese garden tools.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"189\" data-start=\"140\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eNisaku\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"477\" data-start=\"190\"\u003eNisaku is a Japanese brand known for producing high-quality garden and outdoor tools that combine traditional design with modern materials.
