Japanese Gardening Tools

Gardeners: What is your favorite garden tool?
I like finding new garden tools and sometimes you find one that makes me wonder how I I have out with it. One such tool is the Japanese Hori Hori Weeder Knife, or as my husband and I call it, the Samurai sword (because she could not remember the correct name for it). Share your favorite with me …. and, if possible, a link to it. Thank you. Oh, here's a link to the knife: http://www.cleanairgardening.com/horihor … Try this link: http:// http://www.bonsaioutlet.com/proddetail.asp?prod=GBT38630l store.emerysgarden.com/tlp15.html

I can weed, in seconds, and / or gorund clear for a new bed of flowers and plants in minutes on the same day (not true when herbicides were applied use!). It's the best thing going. Clean grass and weeds like a dream.

Japanese Tools $19.99 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: A kunai kunai) is a Japanese tool possibly derived from the masonry trowel. Two variations are the short kunai sh-kunai) and the big kunai dai-kunai). It is a good example of a very basic tool which, in the hands of a martial arts expert, could be used as a multi-functional weapon. It is commonly associated with the ninja, who used it to gouge holes in walls. The kunai was conventionally wrought in ranges from 20 cm to 60 cm, with the average at 40 cm. The kunai was used by common folk as multi-purpose gardening tools and by workers of stone and masonry. The kunai is not a knife, but something more akin to a crowbar.

Kunai normally had a leaf-shaped blade and a handle with a ring on the pommel for attaching a rope. This would allow the kunai’s handle to be wrapped to act as a grip, or when used as a weapon; to be strapped to a stick as an expedient spear, to be tied to the body for concealment, or to use as an anchor or piton. Contrary to popular belief, they were not designed to be used primarily as throwing weapons, though they can be thrown and cause damage. Instead, they are a thrusting and stabbing implement. A highly stylized kunai, as often portrayed in fiction.Many ninja developed weapons that were merely adapted farming tools, not unlike those used by Shaolin monks in China. Since kunai were cheaply produced farming tools of a decent size and weight, and could be easily sharpened, they were readily available to be converted into simple weapons.
