Barebones Living Hori Hori Garden Tool

Full tang construction means the metal blade extends through the entire length of the walnut handle. This provides superior balance, leverage, and structural integrity, making the tool much less likely to snap under pressure when digging or prying.

The serrated edge is designed for sawing through thick roots, small branches, and twine. While it is highly effective for garden maintenance and foraging, it is not a replacement for a dedicated wood saw for large-scale clearing.

While the 4CR13 stainless steel is heat-treated for durability and rust resistance, you should wipe the blade clean and dry it thoroughly after every use. Periodically oiling the blade and the walnut handle will help preserve the finish and prevent corrosion over time.

Yes, the inch markings are etched directly into the stainless steel blade. They will not rub off with use, allowing you to consistently measure planting depths for bulbs and seeds season after season.

The metal pommel is designed for light pounding tasks, such as driving small stakes into the ground. It adds a functional, rugged element to the tool that protects the walnut handle from impact damage.

Yes, the included protective sheath is designed for safe storage and transport. It keeps the sharp edges covered when not in use and can be attached to a belt for easy access while working in the garden or hiking.
