Hori hori

The hori-hori digging tool, first implemented in Japan, was originally used for carefully excavating plants such as sansai in the mountains.

The blade is made of carbon or stainless steel that is concave shaped to make it ideal for digging and prying.

The blade has a large smooth wooden handle for comfortable use with one hand.

The blade is razor-sharp, and one edge is serrated for cutting through roots and tough soil.

Functions include a knife, a saw, a digging tool, or as a measuring device for planting bulbs.
