What does Hori Hori mean?

The Hori Hori blade is a versatile garden tool with origins in Japan where "hori" éƒ›éƒª is the onomatopoeia for the sound of digging. This means "hori hori" would literally translate as "diggy diggy". It has many other names in Japan to reflect its versatility whether you use it for hard work or just for odd jobs in the garden. Elegant and sleek but also robust and versatile.

Made in Japan

Maruyoshi take great pride in the blades they craft and each is manufactured using SK-5 High Carbon Blade Steel for superior edge retention. The blade is tempered to provide long lasting durability so you can reap the benefits of this beautifully crafted trowel year after year. The blade is riveted to the traditional wooden handle for added security.

Sustainable Bamboo Handle

The handle of this trowel is made of sustainable bamboo. A wonderfully tough and resilient wood that's not just tough and durable, it's great for the environment too. As a quick growing and flexible material, bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly woods available.
