Know before you buy
Unlike a standard trowel, the Hori-Hori features a dual-edged blade with both a smooth, beveled side for digging and a serrated side for sawing through stubborn roots. This combination allows you to handle transplanting, weeding, and dividing perennials with a single tool.
Yes, the blade is crafted from high-quality Swedish stainless steel, which is specifically chosen for its rust resistance and long-term durability. It is engineered to withstand the rigors of regular garden use over a lifetime.
The handle is made from a one-piece molded composite material that is both durable and comfortable to grip. It includes a built-in thumb rest, which provides extra leverage and control when you are digging or sawing through tough soil.
The blade measures 6 inches in length and 1.75 inches in width, with an overall tool length of 11.75 inches. This size is designed to be substantial enough for heavy work while remaining easy to maneuver in tight garden beds.
The knife does not include a sheath by default, but an optional leather sheath is available for purchase separately. Using a sheath is recommended to protect the blade edges and keep you safe when the tool is stored.
