Nisaku Hori Hori Knife

The Hori Hori is a multi-functional gardening tool designed to replace several handheld implements. It acts as a trowel for digging and transplanting, a knife for slicing through roots or sod, and a saw for cutting through tougher stems.

Yes, the 3.2 mm thick stainless steel blade is robust enough for prying and digging in most soil types. However, like any knife, it is best used for precision tasks rather than heavy excavation work like prying out large rocks or tree stumps.

The integrated depth markings allow you to measure planting depth directly in the soil as you dig. This ensures consistency when planting bulbs or seedlings, helping you achieve the correct depth for optimal growth.

The blade is crafted from 420J2 stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance. To maintain the blade's longevity, we recommend wiping it clean and drying it thoroughly after each use, especially if it has been exposed to wet soil.

Yes, the included leather sheath is designed to protect both the blade and the user. It keeps the sharp edge covered when not in use, making it safe to store in your tool shed or carry in a garden bag.

Because of the serrated design, you will need a specialized sharpening tool, such as a tapered diamond rod or a small ceramic file. You should sharpen each serration individually to maintain the blade's cutting efficiency.
