Known overseas as the “Hori Hori Knife”, this traditional Japanese mountain vegetable and leisure knife is highly regarded for its versatility, strength, and rust resistance.

A single tool that can handle nearly all gardening and outdoor tasks, it has earned widespread trust among gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

The design traces its origins to the Matagi, traditional Japanese mountain hunters who originally carved pointed bamboo tools for foraging and digging. The distinctive curved blade evolved from this shape, giving the knife its uniquely Japanese form - admired internationally for both its beauty and functionality.

Each blade is mirror-polished and fully heat-treated for even strength, corrosion resistance, and easy resharpening. Its curved, sharpened edge makes it perfect for digging, cutting roots, dividing plants, and weeding, while the inch and centimetre depth markings allow precise planting and soil work.

  • Size: 185mm (Blade), 315mm (Total)
  • Material: Stainless Steel 420J2 (Blade), Natural Wood (Handle), Reinforced Synthetic Leather

The knife includes a durable black reinforced leather sheath, resistant to moisture and wear, making it practical for both gardening and outdoor adventure.
