Originally designed to mimic the popular Japanese Garden Knife, hori hori roughly translates to “dig dig”. This hearty multi-purpose tool is built for versatility. Use it in your backyard, camping, bush-crafting, or anywhere you need it. Pound in tent stakes with the flat pommel base. Measure planting depth with the handy inch marks. Saw a branch or whittle kindling with the rust-resistant doubled edge.

Smooth and durable walnut seamlessly fit with the heat-tempered 6 ¾” pointed blade for a tool that just feels good in your hand. Added twine cutter doubles as a bottle opener, so you can enjoy a refreshing beverage of your choice after a hard day’s work.

This elevated version of the hori hori has the option of an added durable 900D polyester sheath with reinforced lining. Clip it to your belt for easy access on any adventure.

FAQ

Q: How do I care for the Hori Hori Ultimate?
A: Simply wipe or scrub clean. Once fully dry, apply mineral oil to keep from rusting.

Q: Can I store my shears outside for extended periods of time?
A: Garden tools are not meant to be stored outside for long periods of time. Extended exposure to wet conditions may cause rust and unnecessary wear and tear. We recommend storing your garden tools indoors after use to help them last as long as possible and to avoid the need to purchase a replacement.
