BlueArrowExpress Kana Hoe 217 Japanese Garden Tool - Hand Hoe/Sickle is Perfect for Weeding and Cultivating. The Blade Edge is Very Sharp.

Don't know about durability as I just received it, but it works great. The sharp end does a great job digging at deeper roots. Would buy it again

The media could not be loaded. Great product every gardener should have one! It’s built well, I got it at a reduced rate when it was on sale. It does the job! See the video

I discovered this tool while volunteering in someone else's garden and had to get one for myself because it is by far the best weeding tool I've ever used. This one looks almost exactly the same as one that I found at a big box store for double the price, only the label was slightly different. I've had mine for a couple months now and used it a lot, it's still very sharp and has not rusted since I clean it after each use.Favorite gardening tool! Would make a great gift for any gardener.I don't till my soil and this has made my life much easier because now when my weeds get out of control, I can clear them out within a day or two. I chop and drop almost everything and this pulls the roots up as well as chops leaves and grass like butter.

I do a lot of weeding and I'm very particular about my weeding tools. I happened across a listing for this Japanese quality weeding tool and thought I would give it a try. The blade slices through the ground beneath the weeds allowing me to extract the weeds with the root intact with little effort. Great for hard ground as well as crab grass and a multitude of other shallow rooted weeds. Obviously not what you would use for dandelions, as a Hori Hori knife would be the right tool for deep tap roots. But this tool has enabled me to clear large swaths of weeds in a fraction of the time as I was doing when just pulling them out with my hands. A true game changer! Well-built and now my favorite "go to" weeding tool. Yes, you need to be on your hands and knees for this type of tool and because it is crafted of carbon steel, clean the dirt off, dry it and wipe it with an oily rag and it will last forever.

Really sharp and effective.

Weeding

I'm probably using this tool not as intended but I needed something to quickly rip out invasive ground cover. It slices right through the roots and stems! It's super sharp, so be careful when using (and you will eventually have to resharpen the blade edge after a season of use). Going to get another one for next year!

this is a great gift for the gardeners in your life. one of the best weed removers i've ever used.
