Ferry-Morse Hori Hori Knife

A Hori Hori knife is a multi-purpose tool that combines the digging capabilities of a trowel with the cutting precision of a knife. Its serrated edge allows you to saw through thick roots and stubborn weeds, while the sharp, scoop-shaped blade makes it ideal for transplanting and dividing perennials.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is designed to resist rust and corrosion, even when exposed to damp soil. However, to ensure the longest lifespan, we recommend wiping the blade clean and drying it thoroughly before storing it in the leather sheath.

The handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip that minimizes hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like weeding or planting. The wood material offers a natural, warm feel that is easier on the hands than cold metal or hard plastic handles.

While the stainless steel blade is durable and sturdy, it is primarily designed for soil work, cutting roots, and transplanting. Prying out large rocks or using the tip as a lever can put excessive stress on the blade and handle connection, so it is best to use a dedicated pry bar for heavy-duty landscaping.

Yes, the included genuine leather sheath is custom-fitted to the blade, providing a safe way to store the tool and protect the edge from dulling. It also features a loop, making it convenient to carry on your belt while moving around the garden.
