View ABC Gardening Australia video about these tools
Field-tested for 5,000 years, these Ho-Mi style (Korean for 'little ground spear') tools were first made in Korea during the Bronze Age. Impressively strong and durable, hand forged from one piece of tool steel which is heat treated and sharpened for maximum strength and edge holding quality. Light and easy-to-use. The unique shape (a curved head ending in a sharp point) allows you to do many tasks with only one tool.

Hori Hori Soil Knife
This multifunctional garden tool is perfect for digging, weeding, planting, cultivation and division. It is far more robust than most hand tools promoted as 'weeders'. It is a traditional Japanese-style soil knife featuring a 130 mm hardwood handle and 175 mm concave high carbon chrome molybdenum steel blade. The sharp cutting edges of the blade slice through soil. With the serrations on one edge use it instead of a kitchen knife under the soil to sever roots of tender weed and small clumps of bulbs and tubers. The blade also has depth measurements in cm and inches to help when planting seedlings out to the correct depth.

Spear and Jackson
After an exhaustive search looking for a very good quality digging tool range we have come back to a company and tools which have been in our garden shed for 20 years. For those gardeners who are sick of buying and bending tools despite the job, this professional, well designed, solid forged, high quality, hammer finish epoxy coated tool range cannot be beat.

Neverbend Draining Spade
This Spear and Jackson trade quality, heavy-duty garden tool is made from heat tempered steel. The head (405 mm x 165 mm) which is welded to the long shaft is unusual in that it is tapered with a slight dish shape. This tool is our favourite and is used for planting of tube stock, tubers and small pots, loosening the deeper layers of a large planting hole, severing tree roots, cutting thru thick grasses (vetiver, lemon, citronella) and big beds of bulbs and tubers to divide clumps. This tool can really take a pounding whether it be digging shallow trenches, planting trees, wedging out clumps. Ours shows no sign of weakness, bending, rust or chipping after many years' use. Made in India.
