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.

I love this knife! It has been so useful to me in my gardening tasks. It seems to have created some tool envy among those that have seen me using it in the garden where I volunteer frequently! Im certain that at least one of these people has since ordered one of their own.

- NGNancy G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoBest tool ever!
I love my new Hori Hori Ultimate. It does everything. I can repot my older plants without damaging the fine roots. It is easy to hold and it slides through the soil easily. It has be -3 degrees here where I live so I haven’t been able to get outside in my garden yet, but my house plants are happy in their new pots. I can’t wait to get to my garden it’s going to be great fun and less struggle.

This is a tough piece of equipment. I'm rough on tools but take good care of them and put this to the test digging out some invasive privet bushes by their roots. Sawed through the roots like butter. Great work on this one Barebones.
