There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've bought these over and over for many years. Usually they last 2 or 3 years, until I bend them trying to pry up a far-too-large rock from the ground, or something like that. I do meticulously clean them between uses (wipe clean and squirt with WD-40) but don't sharpen. They come sharp enough to cut flesh but never have gotten too dull for me to use.
On top of that, they're very light weight and very reasonably priced.
Please note, they are a HAND TOOL. If you want to hoe/weed while standing, these aren't the right choice.
Other considerations:
1. The blade is spot-welded to the metal shaft, which is a weakness. One can get a nejiri gama with the handle forged from the same piece of metal as the blade, but for just over twice the cost (~$11 for this one, vs. $24 for the other at this time).
2. The handle is somewhat shorter than the one on my old tool, which I preferred.
3.The handle has a plastic end with a hole in it for hanging, rather than the hole being bored through the wood. I have had the plastic part come off, leaving the handle even shorter.
So, four stars instead of five. It is a good tool, excellent value for the money, but not the very best available.
UPDATE: It lasted exactly one year, then the weak weld broke & the blade came off the handle.
The handle/grip is a bit less 'grippy' than I'd like, the varnished wood can be slightly slippery and hard to hold firmly without letting the tool rotate in use.
Overall this is very functional and useful, and reasonably priced. If it turns out to not be durable over time, or if I have any other observations to share, I will return to this review and update it accordingly.
