Hori-Hori Digging Tool - $32. US
The stainless steel version of the regular Hori-Hori Digging Tool is bound to be a big hit with gardeners who use their Hori-Hori tool for so many jobs in the garden. Made in Japan, this traditional tool was originally used for excavating prized bonsai in the mountains. Gardeners now find it indispensable for cutting, digging and scraping weeds, roots and vegetables. The large stainless steel 6 1/2" x 1 3/4" blade is concaved-shaped which makes it excellent for digging and prying.

Included is a sturdy brown vinyl sheath with belt loop. Like the original version this tool is very practical and multi-purpose. It's also easy to clean and will cut through soil and roots with ease. Overall length 11 3/4".
