We dig it.
“Hori hori” is Japanese and roughly translates to “dig dig”—but that’s not all this brilliantly simple multipurpose tool can do. Pound in tent stakes with the flat metal base, saw branches for kindling with the serrated knife edge, and measure planting depth with the inch marks around the rust-resistant stainless steel blade. It'll also happily come along for any and all of your garden tasks. A beautiful walnut handle allows you to get a firm grip while you work. The curled hook inset near the base of the blade is perfect for cutting twine or opening a bottle top at the end of a long day of hard work. Use the nifty belt clip to attach it to your pocket or apron, so help will always be in hand.
Keep your blade in tip-top condition with the waxed canvas sheath, which has a belt clip and an open end, preventing soil buildup inside. It’s a snug and safe home for what’s sure to become your favorite gardening tool.

Blade: Apply a thin coat of protective oil after each use. Wipe clean of dirt, water, and fingerprints regularly. Use a medium to fine file to straighten out any larger dings or nicks in the blade. The edge can be honed with a medium sharpening disk or stone.
Sheath: Waxed canvas should never be dry cleaned or machine washed. It can be cleaned carefully by hand. Brush off the loose dirt, rinse the surface with cold water, gently scrub with a brush, then let air dry. If stains persist, use mild bar soap or saddle soap.
After cleaning, waxed canvas may need to be re-waxed. To do so, use a wax conditioner and apply following the manufacturer's instructions.
