Ultimate Japanese Gardening Tool with Sheath – High-Carbon Steel Multi-Purpose Blade
The Hori Hori Ultimate is a full-tang garden knife for digging, weeding, planting, cutting, measuring depth, and working around roots. Although the current product title says “high-carbon steel,” the detailed source specification identifies the blade as heat-treated 4Cr13 stainless steel.
The pointed concave blade measures 6.75 inches and carries one-inch depth markings. One edge is sharpened like a knife and the other is serrated. A walnut handle, pommel base, twine cutter, and bottle opener extend the tool’s usefulness at the potting bench and around camp.
The included sheath combines 900D polyester, full-grain leather, heavy rivets, a copper-finished snap, and a metal belt clip.
