Two blades, one purpose: to make gardening effortless.
This Hori Hori Digging Set includes both the full-sized Hori Hori and the compact Yamakodachi Short Hori Hori, giving you the perfect duo for everything from heavy-duty digging to delicate weeding. Whether you're working deep into the garden bed or tending to planters on your balcony, this set gives you the flexibility to tackle any task with the right tool in hand.
The full-sized Hori Hori is the classic—part trowel, part saw, part knife. Its scalloped stainless steel blade features both a sharpened and serrated edge, plus depth markings to guide your planting. It’s ideal for slicing roots, digging into dense soil, and harvesting herbs or vegetables. (This comes with a vinyl sheath)
The Yamakodachi, translating to “mountain small knife,” is the short, packable version. With all the versatility of the original in a compact size, it slips easily into a belt or gardening pouch. It's perfect for tight spaces, quick cuts, and jobs that need precision over power. (This comes with a vinyl sheath)
Both knives are fitted with comfortable wooden handles and are handcrafted in Japan from rust-resistant stainless steel. Each include a sheath with belt loops, so you can keep them close no matter where you're working.
This set makes a perfect gift—or an indispensable upgrade to your own gardening arsenal.

After trying all sorts, our volunteer group has found the hori hori knife to be the best all round tool for tackling the most common perennial weeds (veldt grass and gladioli) in our bushland reserve in Perth. It's relatively expensive, but is well balanced and robust, stays sharp, is a pleasure to use and will last a lifetime.
Just wrap some red electrical insulation tape around the handle to make it easier to spot if you put it down during weeding.

My new Hori Hori has been brilliant in helping me do battle with the seemingly endless dandelions that had taken over the large front lawn of my friends half acre property. It slices through the plants deep underground allowing easy removal of leaves and flowers. There is no divot in the lawn afterwards ensuring a perfect finish. A once a week removal of any emerging plants is quick, easy and fun! I am now the ninja of my garden!

I was happy to receive my parcel today, very quick. I purchased 2 knives as presents, description says the knife includes a leather case which is what I wanted , unfortunately it is a faux leather case - not good enough in my opinion.
Disappointed as the knife is great.

First time I’ve used a Hori Hori knife - in the past I’ve subbed with a bread knife! - and it’s fantastic for lots of garden tasks. One major job is cutting back a fast-growing morning glory vine from my (lovely) neighbour’s side: the knife makes quick work of it.
The knife is solid but beautifully balanced and very sharp, so easy to use. I really love it.

I bought the Hori Hori knife for my husband who is very passionate about our garden. He uses it constantly and said it is the best tool he has ever used, excellent quality and very well made! He loved it so much that we bought one for my mum who also loves it! This is now our go to gardening tool for all jobs in the garden! Thank you JTA!

I’ve used it for digging and cutting. The handle is comfy and the blade is perfectly balanced for gardening. I only wish the case were real leather, but I guess that would have put the price up a a bit. A fine purchase and a wonderful gift!

Great knife, not too impressed with the vinyl sheath, so took it to a Cobbler and had a real one made
P
Excellent TOOL. Areal work of art. Rugged robust and I think, reliable.
D
Put simply it’s a great tool. Extremely well made from stainless steel that has some weight and thickness to it...it won’t bend and fits and feels good in the hand with a wooden handle.
All in all terrific for working in the garden.

I’m loving it. I have battled onion weed for years. I refuse to use roundup. The weeds get into difficult places- eg near the stems of rose bushes.I can now dig them out easily.
K
Lovely tool!

Great garden knife

It was bought as a gift for the gardener, but she hasn't used it yet.
Quality looks great but as to whether it is fit for purpose, I can't answer that.

The Hori hori knife lives up to its reputation. Since purchasing, it’s become my go-to tool. It’s terrific for digging planting holes in difficult (and easy) soil, for weeding, for planting.
I recently used it to saw through and dig up a big iris clump. Because of its manoeuvrability, I ended up with 75 great pieces of iris with good fresh rhizome attached. The serrated edge helped with cutting through.
Thoroughly recommend!

Absolutely one of the besttool sI have for the garden, brilliant!

I love my new Hori Hori - so useful for all my close weeding jobs. Love that it has the ruler for planting bulbs etc, and that it feels like an extension of my hands when I'm in the garden. Allows for accurate weeding without disturbing surrounding plants.
K
I bought this tool for my daughter in law and she put a label on it - with her name! She loves it. Great tool for weeding.

Delivery very quick and first use as advertised love it

This is the tool to buy. I use it as my main gardening tool from hoicking out thistle to pruning my ornamental trees. I love it and I love this store. Great service always.
