The Fiskars Hori Hori is a 12 in stainless steel version of the Japanese digging knife, for weeding, planting, splitting, transplanting and cutting open bags.
The pointed 7 in blade is concave for deep digging and marked in inches and centimeters. One edge is precision-ground sharp with a twine cutter, and the other is serrated for sawing through thicker growth. The stainless steel resists corrosion and won't bend or break while digging. It's full tang, with a wooden handle triple-riveted to the blade and a full hilt, and it comes with a polyester sheath with a belt loop.
Fiskars dates to 1649, when Peter Thorwöste was granted the right to set up a blast furnace and bar hammer in Fiskars, Finland, then under Swedish rule. The ironworks went on to make knives, forks, scissors and more than a million ploughs, and the company still carries the village's name.
