Hori Hori Ultimate
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. 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. Made for use in the backyard, camping, bush-crafting, or anywhere you need it.
Smooth and durable walnut handle seamlessly fits 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.
The ultimate shield for the ultimate tool, the Hori Hori Sheath unites utility and design. Made of 900D polyester with an interior liner, it weathers real-world use while protecting the blade from dulling. Stainless steel belt clip supports easy carrying and accessibility, while the strong handle strap restricts the blade from slipping or moving. Open-end allows for easy cleaning and prevents soil buildup, preserving the blade for years of continued use. Accented with full-grain leather and copper to complement the rest of our Woodsman Collection.

- DNDavid N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoBest Garden Tool & Customer Service Ever
LISTEN: I love this tool. As I garden, it comes in and out of it's sheath constantly. Frankly, I've been brutal with it - I plant a lot of plugs and I'm constantly jabbing into the earth, cracking into stone, using it for leverage to push out rocks... totally careless. After 2 years of violence, the blade cracked! It's a super tough tool but I knew it would happen, I was way harsher than I should have been. So I called barebones to see if I could buy a new blade. They don't sell them separately. But they offered to replace the whole tool. I told them it wasn't their fault, I can buy a new one. But they insisted and mailed me a replacement for free! Without a receipt because it had been a gift. 2 years after purchase! Incredible service. I also ordered and paid for a second one because honestly I know I'm going to treat it harshly and I can't bear to be without one if I bust it. FANTASTIC TOOL.
Thank you Barebones!

I have used this Hori tool all summer long…..What a handy garden tool…my wife and I fight over it…. I have used this for digging and cutting weeds and even trimming ground cover cloth. It is built like a tank and stores in a nice looking storage unit. I am thinking about buying another one…got to keep the family happy!

This is my favorite gardening tool, especially for knocking through clay or getting at weed roots under tree roots. My husband saw all my fun so I ordered him his own, both with the great sheath. Will be a nice tool for camping as well.
