Know before you buy
Unlike a standard trowel, the Hori Hori features a dual-edged blade with both a sharp cutting side and a serrated edge. This allows you to dig, weed, and saw through tough roots or fertilizer bags with a single tool.
Yes. Because it features full tang construction, the steel extends through the entire handle, providing the structural integrity needed for prying and levering in denser soil without the blade snapping.
Yes, the markings are etched directly onto the stainless steel blade. They provide a clear, permanent reference point so you can ensure your bulbs are planted at the exact depth recommended for optimal growth.
The ComfortGEL® grip is specifically designed to reduce hand fatigue by cushioning your palm during repetitive motions. Additionally, the flanged base provides a safety stop to prevent your hand from slipping toward the blade while you work.
While the blade is made from hardened stainless steel, which is naturally resistant to corrosion, it is best practice to wipe it clean and dry it after each use. Storing it in a dry place will help maintain the sharpness of the edge over time.
