The hori hori is light but incredibly strong. The stainless steel blade is straight with a shallow scoop, rather like trowel. It is razor sharp and serrated on one side, and along its length, there are calibration marks in inches and centimetres. The black moulded handle is ergonomically designed to give an amazingly comfortable grip. It also comes with a plastic sheath and belt holder. Our 3-Season and All Weather Gardening trousers have been designed so that the hori hori tool fits perfectly and in absolute safety and comfort into one of the stab-proof pockets.

The Sokan brand is the oldest brand of secateurs in Japan. 200 years ago, Mr Sokan was a blacksmith making swords, and in 1870 the company produced the first ever pair of secateurs in Japan.

The tool is hot forged from high carbon steel and ground by hand. Japanese secateurs are made from only two pieces of metal, with the blade and handle forming one piece. This gives a stronger tool and better balance than European garden secateurs where the blade is welded to the handle.

The two sides of the secateur are bolted together and it is the integrity of this bolt that gives the secateurs their distinctive cut. These Sokan secateurs use a tapered bolt which gets thicker towards the head. As the craftsman forces the bolt into the holes, the metal of the bolt begins to unify with the metal of the handle/blade. So, the bolt never needs tightening.

Packed in a distinctive box, these garden secateurs are a great gift for any passionate gardener, or a wonderful treat for yourself.

Replacement springs are available. Please call to order.

Silk is the perfect thermal fabric and these gloves are sleek enough to fit neatly under your regular gardening gloves.

Many serious gardeners prefer gloves that pass the string-tie test.  Unfortunately, this type of glove is often too cold to wear in the winter, but with the silk glove liners, you can wear the finest gloves and still stay warm. 

And you can also layer up by wearing the Genus arm warmers on top of a jersey with your thumbs through the loop, then putting on the silk glove liners, and finally your regular gardening gloves.  Try it – you’ll still be able to tie in those climbers.
