Short-Handle Nejiri Weeder

Description from Williams-Sonoma

• Curved neck allows the blade to get close to short weeds and grasses, even in tight spaces.
• Lightweight Japanese-pine handle narrows in the middle for a comfortable grip.
• Blade can be resharpened for years of use.
• 5″ x 1 3/4″ blade; 12 1/2″ long overall.
