Also known as the Japanese Farmer’s Weeder Knife, this tool is now a standard issue in the collection of tools that every student receives when they arrive at the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture. It gained notoriety when international exchange students from Japan claimed they were the best all purpose tool. We became believers and the Hori Hori Knife has been a favourite in our tool box ever since.
Made in Japan, this part knife-part trowel is very versatile. The Japanese term “hori” means “digging” and dig it does! It can be also being used for planting, dividing, cutting and weeding out weeds with stubborn tap roots. It can be used like a trowel with a scooping or and dagger-type motion. It comes with a vinyl sheath and a belt strap which keeps it conveniently and safely by your side. It is a well-made, durable multi-purpose tool.
