A hori hori is one tool doing the work of three: the concave blade digs like a narrow trowel, one edge cuts roots and twine, and the point lifts weeds out whole. This one has a seven-inch stainless steel blade and a full-tang wooden handle, and comes with a sheath.
Key Features
- Seven-inch stainless blade: Long enough to reach the bottom of a deep pot.
- Cutting edge: One side is sharpened for roots, twine and root balls.
- Full tang: The steel runs the whole length of the handle rather than stopping in a stub.
- Wood handle with hanging hole: Hangs on a hook rather than rolling off the shelf.
- Sheath included: Covers the edge when it is in a bag or a drawer.
Materials & Construction
A stainless steel blade with a concave face and a sharpened edge, riveted through a wooden handle in full-tang construction. Supplied with a fitted sheath.
Use & Care
- Wipe the blade dry immediately after use — stainless resists rust, it does not ignore it.
- Oil the wooden handle occasionally so it does not dry out and shrink.
- Sheath it before it goes into a bag with anything else.
- Keep it away from children; the edge and the point are both working parts.
