Hori Hori - Small and Standard

The ultimate multitasker for those who take their weeding seriously.

If you haven’t discovered the Hori Hori yet, prepare to make it your entire gardening personality. From Japan’s Ken Katabami brand, this isn’t just a garden knife; it’s a beautifully crafted piece of hardware that handles the jobs other tools find beneath them. Slicing, scooping, weeding, or even cracking into a stubborn pot — it does it all with a quiet, Japanese elegance.

The design is pure efficiency: one edge is honed for precision slicing, while the other features a built-in saw for the tough stuff like rope or unruly roots. And for the meticulous among us who actually care about planting bulbs at the exact right depth (we see you, and we respect the dedication), the blade is handily engraved with both centimetres and inches right down the scooping side.

Forged from corrosion-resistant 420J2 stainless steel and finished with a Japanese magnolia handle, it’s as sturdy as it is sharp. It’s built for the long game, secured with twin rivets and etched with the Ken Katabami ideogram — a nod to the serious craftsmanship you’re holding.

It even comes with its own white leather sheath and belt loop (fits belts up to 4.5cm), because let’s be honest, once you start using it, you’ll want it at your side at all times. Precision, practicality, and a little bit of Japanese magic for the toolkit.
