Inspired by the traditional Japanese garden knife, the Hori Hori Ultimate is a time-tested, do-everything tool designed for serious versatility. The name hori hori roughly translates to “dig dig,” a fitting nod to its origins and enduring utility in the garden and beyond.
Built around a heat-tempered 6¾" pointed blade, this multi-purpose knife handles everything from digging and transplanting to cutting roots and harvesting with ease. A rust-resistant double edge—one smooth, one serrated—allows you to saw through branches, slice sod, or whittle kindling when needed. Handy inch markings etched into the blade help measure planting depth, while the flat pommel base is sturdy enough to pound in tent stakes.
Finished with a smooth, durable walnut handle, the knife feels balanced and comfortable in hand, whether you’re working in the garden, camping, or tackling everyday tasks. A built-in twine cutter that doubles as a bottle opener adds a practical (and well-earned) finishing touch.
