The World's Best Garden Tool: Hori Hori | Fresh P



The world’s best garden tool is a Hori Hori, a Japanese digging knife. Heavy steal forged into a slender trowel that’s great for digging, prying and breaking up hard clumps. The serrated edge is perfect for sawing through stubborn weeds or hacking back some briars. Once you garden with the Hori Hori, you won’t want to be without it. Ever.

This is a good Hori Hori with a comfortable handle: http://www.amazon.com/Joshua-Roth-1515-Hori-Digging/dp/B00004T2KB/ref=sr_1_7?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1401812542&sr=1-7&keywords=hori+hori

  1. Thank you!! This was a great video showing off what you can do wither this knife and highly entertaining!! I will definitely be getting one of my own.

  2. Just ordered one of those Hori Hori , can't wait to get it in the mail. Looking forward to using it in the garder πŸ˜‰

  3. I think Hori Hori means 'dirt dirt' or 'did dig' of sumthin like that. Its an onomatopoeia word too and, even tho I can't ever seem to spell it right, its my favorite word of all time. Well, 'monkey' is way up there too, but onomatopoeia I think beats it out. Subbed!

  4. Fresh Princess have you gotten together with Mark Elliot from New Zealand? I was looking at the local big box store for a hori hori. They didn't carry them. But Mark posted that he made hori horis. I'm in the market to buy (or win) one!

  5. Well you ladies had fun making that video. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ . I always liked using a knife in the garden. Never knew they made a militarized one that could double as a garden tool. Oh… Thats right….. Asian….. Like the staff the sectional staff, the tonfa, the nunchucks…. And yes now the Hori Hori

  6. One girl's hori hori is longer than the other's,but the other girl's hori hori is a little thicker so everything will be ok in the end.

  7. Pretty cute use instructions! Can't wait to try my son's mother's day to me … just arrived today!
