Know before you buy
Unlike a standard trowel, the Hori Hori is a multi-purpose tool that combines digging, weeding, and cutting capabilities. Its dual-edged blade allows you to slice through tough roots or rope, while the integrated depth markings help you plant bulbs at the exact required depth.
Yes, the base of the handle is constructed from 430 steel, which is durable enough to be used as a hammer for light tasks like driving in small garden stakes or markers.
Absolutely. The knife features a full-tang construction, meaning the metal extends through the entire length of the handle, providing the structural integrity needed for prying and digging in compacted soil.
To keep the FSC-certified ash wood in good condition, wipe it clean after use and store it in a dry place. Periodically applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or linseed oil will help prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time.
Yes, the included leather sheath is designed for durability and features a secure belt loop. It provides a safe way to transport the knife hands-free while keeping the sharp edges protected when not in use.
The high-quality stainless steel holds an edge well, but like any garden tool, it will eventually dull with heavy use. You can maintain the sharp edge using a standard sharpening stone or file, though the serrated side will require a specialized tool to sharpen effectively.
