BUYING GUIDE

Hori hori garden knife

A narrow digging blade for planting, weeding and dividing perennials.

A hori hori is a Japanese digging tool for close work around plants. Niwaki’s Hori Hori Pro uses SK-5 carbon steel and a beech handle. It is one manufacturer example, not a product we claim to test.

Where it helps

Use for small planting holes, weeding and dividing herbaceous plants. Keep your free hand clear of the blade. It is not a pry bar for rocks or large roots.

Care & safe use

Carbon steel can rust. Clean, dry and oil the blade after use, and store it in its sheath away from children.

Manufacturer buying option

Check current prices, delivery and local availability with the seller.
