Hori Hori Ultimate

2-Year Limited Warranty
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.

- FFrazerVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoFive Stars but PLEASE FIX THE HOLSTER
I'm giving this five stars because how can I not. The tool itself is great. It's sharp, it feels great in the hand, and it's well constructed. The biggest issue with this product is the holster.
The little button strap around the handle is a complete nuisance. I'm in my garden and I'm pulling this thing out of my belt holster hundreds of times a day. Trying to wrangle with that strap every time I try to put the knife back in is killing me. I don't even try to button it because what's the point? I'll be taking it out again soon anyway. I hate to do this, but I'm probably going to have to remove that strap with a knife because it is just constantly getting in the way.
Anyway great product. Please come up with a better way to secure this than with that strap and I'll be thrilled.
- TTTimothy T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoA true “go-to” tool that is as advertised
The hori-hori Ultimate will be used for as long as it lasts, which when in my hand, feels like it will last a long time. I have the commonly poor Central Texas rocky, clay “soil” (and “soil” is being kind) with tree roots and other tubers. The sharpened point cuts into the earth and the tool can pry out small to medium sized stones. Plus, the serrated edge quickly cuts through roots as needed. I love the walnut handle and the weight and balance are excellent. The sheath also feels stout enough to keep any “forgetful” hands from catching an edge. I almost forgot: the twine cutter works as advertised, too. I haven’t pounded on anything yet (and I’m likely to use a hammer for that type of task anyway) but the hori-hori ultimate does feel substantial enough to serve in that capacity if sensibly used.

I bought this as a gift and it was one of those that I really had to fight myself from keeping it. It’s a beautiful piece of heavy well-built metal and I was very impressed. I’ll be keeping an eye on a performance report from my giftee.

- TWTrevor W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoGood looking
I would not use this knife to pound tent stakes but definitely looking forward to gardening. Very handsome sheath.
