Japanese trowel, all-round weeder, bulb-planter supreme and general subterranean rummager… the carbon steel blade runs right into the handle, so it’s tough and strong, but not invincible. Brilliant for planting bulbs, weeding and all sorts of garden stuff - but whatever you do don’t take it as carry on luggage. Comes with a tough canvas sheath.

TIPS:

Although considerably stronger than a regular trowel, the mighty Hori Hori is not completely invincible. Don’t stick it in to heavy soil and yank back hard…it’s much more efficient used in an in-out action.
