The Nisaku Long Handle Nejiri is a versatile and effective traditional Japanese garden tool, highly valued for its precision and leverage in soil work. This tool combines the functions of a sickle and a hoe, featuring a small 115mm blade with a characteristic bent neck. The blade is sharpened exclusively on the bottom edge to an extra-sharp finish, allowing it to be used as a draw hoe for weeding just below the soil surface with exceptional ease. A genuine, durable tool, it is meticulously Made in Japan.

Designed for ergonomic comfort, the 1100mm (1.1m) long wooden handle provides ample reach, eliminating the need to bend over and significantly reducing back strain during extended use. This makes it an excellent choice for light chipping and detailed cultivation work in garden beds and vegetable patches. The high-quality Japanese steel ensures superior edge retention, providing a professional-grade experience for seasonal garden maintenance.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
