Know before you buy
The blade features a concave shape for efficient digging and soil scooping, paired with a serrated edge that allows you to saw through stubborn roots or thick stems without switching tools.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is robust enough for prying out deep-rooted weeds. The pointed tip and serrated edge make it particularly effective for loosening compacted soil around taproots.
While a standard trowel is limited to digging, the Hori Hori acts as a multi-tool. Its longer, narrower blade and serrated edge provide significantly more versatility for tasks like transplanting, cutting, and measuring soil depth.
Yes, the stainless steel blade can be sharpened using a standard file or sharpening stone. Focus on the serrated edge to maintain its cutting efficiency over time.
