GrowTech Hana Hori-Hori Soil 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. While a trowel is primarily for scooping, this tool features a serrated edge for sawing through tough roots and a sharp blade for slicing, making it much more versatile for weeding and dividing perennials.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is designed for durability and can handle tough soil conditions. However, like any garden tool, it is best used for precision tasks like transplanting or weeding rather than prying large rocks, which could put unnecessary stress on the wood handle.

The etched depth graduations allow you to measure exactly how deep you are digging without needing a separate ruler. This is particularly useful when planting bulbs or seedlings that require specific planting depths for optimal growth.

To keep the wood handle in good condition, wipe it clean and dry it thoroughly after each use. Occasionally applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or linseed oil can help prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time.

Yes, the blade is crafted from stainless steel, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. Even so, we recommend cleaning off soil and moisture before storing it in its sheath to ensure the longest possible lifespan.
