Elite gardeners around the world have learned the secret of the Hori Hori garden digging knife. The Hori Hori knife has a straight, cupped blade, one plain edge, and one serrated. A traditional gardening tool in Japan, the tool gets its name from the onomatopoeia for the sound of digging in Japanese. It works great for common garden tasks like cutting sod, weeding, digging, and tilling small amounts of soil. If kept sharp, this Japanese style garden knife can be used for pruning shrubs and trees; some gardeners use a hori hori to make cuttings for grafting trees. A Hori Hori knife beats out a regular garden trowel when cutting trough roots, weed cloth, or opening bags of amendments. The RMBA Hori Hori includes measurements on the inner cupped portion of the blade so you know exactly how deep to dig. The custom branded tool includes laser engraved RMBA logo in the hardwood handle. Show your support for RMBA, or gift this high quality garden tool to the gardener in your life.
