Product description
As it stands, the Hori Hori is pretty much the most useful, adaptable tool there is for weeding, planting and general subterranean rummaging - but when the Kondo blacksmiths get their hands on one, everything’s cranked up a gear or two.
The laminated, hand forged carbon blade is fitted in an ergonomic White Oak handle. It’s sharpened down one side of the blade and around the tip for slicing through roots and soft soil - but like all weeding trowels, this is not for prising roots out of heavy, solid soil.
Best usage
The carbon steel blade benefits from the occasional wipe down with an oily rag.
Please familiarise yourself with the Offensive Weapons Law before carrying this tool in public.
Under section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, it is an offence to have a weapon in a public place unless you have lawful authority or a reasonable excuse. This might include carrying tools for work or transporting gardening equipment.
We strongly advise that you keep this tool concealed, sheathed, and out of sight in public spaces – preferably in a gardening bag or toolbox rather than on your belt.
