This Hori-Hori digging tool, made in Japan, was originally used for excavating prized bonsai in the mountains. Gardner's now find it indispensable for cutting, digging and scraping weeds, roots getting through hard clay soil and difficult clearing jobs.

The 6 7/8" x 1 3/4" blade is made of thick carbon steel and is concave-shaped, which makes it ideal for digging and prying. The end is semi - sharp, with one serrated side for cutting anchored roots and trimming plants and limbs.

The handle is a thick wood for a strong grip. Included is a black vinyl sheath with belt loop. Overall length is 15 1/2".
