Okatsune makes wonderful hand tools. It is made from Japanese steel. I love their pruners and pair them with a Felco leather holster. I believe Amazon sells fake Okatsune. I purchase from A.M. Leonard.

I just bought that root knife. No idea why I don't own one. I need one often.

I much prefer a pick mattock to a pickaxe for digging.


Huh, didn't realize the difference until now. Looks like what I bought was actually a mattock after all

Yes that’s a mattock, great tool.
I’m the new owner of a root knife and a pair of hand pruners

Love my hori hori, but find myself using my Dewit Potting Trowel more for planting anything bigger than seedlings. I find its size to be perfect.

And absolutely love my Japanese weeding sickle. You can weed quickly but with precision. Has held up to a fair amount of abuse and is esay to resharpen
