First implemented in Japan, the Hori Hori Classic digging tool was originally used for careful and methodical excavating of plants, such as Sansai, in the mountains. Barebones’ unique take on this classic implement was designed with garden work in mind. Its rounded top and serrated sides make it ideal for scooping, digging, and pulling weeds. Equipped with a heat-tempered, hollowback blade, full stainless steel tang, and comfortable walnut handle, the Barebones Hori Hori Classic is the diverse garden tool you can use for a lifetime. Intentionally added twine cutter doubles as a bottle opener, so you can enjoy your choice of refreshing beverage after a hard day's work.

The Hori Hori Classic Sheath unites utility and design. Made of 900D polyester with an interior liner, it weathers real-world use while protecting the blade from dulling. Stainless steel belt clip supports easy carrying and accessibility, while the strong handle strap restricts the blade from slipping or moving. Open-end allows for easy cleaning and prevents soil buildup, preserving the blade for years of continued use.

Julian ★★★★★

Been using this for all my garden weeding and transplanting work, and the serrated edge cuts through roots like butter while the other side digs clean trenches. The blade is sturdy enough that I don't worry about bending it even in rocky soil.

John ★★★★★

I was a little nervous about the weight of it when it arrived, but the balance is perfect for getting deep into the soil without straining my wrist. The sheath is a nice touch, keeping the edge protected when it’s hanging in the shed.

Kevin I. ★★★★★

The blade is so sturdy and sharp that I can slice through compacted soil without rocking it back and forth. Even the handle feels well-balanced in my hand, making weeding and transplanting quicker than I expected.
