Garden Guru Hori Hori Garden Knife

A Hori Hori is a multi-purpose tool that combines the functions of a knife, saw, and trowel. While a trowel is strictly for digging, this knife’s serrated edge allows you to saw through tough roots, while the sharp point and concave blade make it excellent for weeding, transplanting, and precision planting.

While the stainless steel construction is rust-resistant, it is not rust-proof. To keep the blade in top condition, we recommend wiping it clean and drying it thoroughly after every use, especially if you have been working in damp soil.

Yes, the concave blade features etched measurement markings that allow you to gauge planting depth easily. This is particularly helpful when you need to ensure bulbs or seedlings are set at the correct depth for optimal growth.

The handle is crafted from walnut wood and features an ergonomic design that fits naturally in the hand. Because it is a full-tang tool, the weight is well-balanced, which helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like weeding or cultivating.

These are utility features designed to keep you from needing extra tools in the garden. The twine cutter is notched into the blade for quick, safe cutting of plant ties, while the bottle opener is a convenient addition for staying hydrated while you work.

The knife comes with a protective nylon sheath, which is the safest way to store the tool. We recommend cleaning and drying the blade before sliding it into the sheath to prevent moisture buildup and protect the edge.
