Hori-Hori Gardening Knife, Walnut

Hori-Hori Gardening Knife, Walnut
£46.00
Ex Tax: £38.33

A stainless steel, walnut handled multifunctional gardening knife from Tsubame-Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture, north central Japan. Hori-hori means 'dig-dig' — these strong digging knives are used for weeding, planting, and historically for the careful extraction of prized bonsai specimens in the mountains. These knives cope with the toughest stony soils, and the sharpened / serrated edges can be used to cut or saw through roots and stems, for rough pruning, harvesting, or cutting back between seasons. Measures 30cm by 4.5cm by 2cm, with a blade of 17cm. Supplied with a faux leather sheath.

By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash and dry well with a soft cloth immediately after use. Ensure the knife is never left sitting in wet conditions. High quality stainless steel knives will often include a high-carbon element, to increase performance. These kind of stainless steels are not 100% rust proof, and will require careful handling. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
  • Weight g 230g
  • Item Dimensions Blade L17 x W4.5, Total L30, Sheath pouch L18 x W6.5
  • Materials Stainless steel, walnut wood, and synthetic leather
