Flax, cabbage trees, yuccas and kikuyu grass make regular appearances in Kiwi backyards. And while for the most part they look lovely and/or are suitable to the harsh coastal climate conditions in NZ, they are quite tough and can be difficult to maintain.
One of our top-selling hand tools, the Maruyoshi Flax Cutter is the ideal hand cutting tool for maintaining these fibrous, tough plants.
Super lightweight and made from top-quality Japanese High Carbon Steel (most other flax cutters in the market place are stainless steel), the Maruyoshi blade is tempered to give long lasting durability and features a special 'back bar' designed to add even more strength to the blade.
And while it looks very versatile and the teeth are razor sharp, it's important to note that the Flax knife is not a wood saw and should never be used in a sawing or hacking motion on wood or any other hardened plant material. The serrated blade works by pulling the blade towards you and is designed to be used only on fibrous plants. When used correctly the flax cutter blade should not bend, break or snap.

Great tool for our harakeke raranga I love this tool. Makes cutting old leaves and trimming plants back a breeze! I used to use big kitchen knives but it was slow and hard work. The flax cutter makes the job enjoyable. Fully met expectations. Made trimming Flax easy. Brilliant. Halves my flax cutting time since trying to use a knife for years. I also use it on the long grass around the flax and small twigs. Very east to use with little effort, good clean cut. This Maruyoshu flax cutter has taken away all the hard work associated with looking after the 5o flax plants on our property. Best tool I have every bought for the garden. Fantastic item very sharp, fit for purpose utensil. I would recommend this garden tool for anyone who loves flaxes, as I do, it keeps them looking lovely and tidy, and does the trimming job so quickly and effortlessly resulting in a very tidy looking flax. Useful for cutting cabbage tree leaves also. Wouldn't be without it. Great tool for trimming up the flaxes - Wouldnt use anything else now!
