Look up hori-hori in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

A hori-hori, sometimes referred to as a "soil knife" or a "weeding knife", is a heavy serrated multi-purpose steel blade for gardening jobs such as digging or cutting. The blade is sharp on both sides and comes to a semi-sharp point at the end.

History and etymology

The hori-hori digging tool, first implemented in Japan, was originally used for carefully excavating plants such as sansai in the mountains.[citation needed]

The word hori (ホリ) means "to dig" in Japanese and "hori-hori" is an onomatopoeia for a digging sound. The tool itself is commonly referred to in Japan as a "leisure knife" (レジャーナイフ, rejā naifu) or "sansai knife" (山菜ナイフ, sansai naifu).[citation needed]

Description and uses

The hori-hori has uses in gardening such as weeding, cutting roots, transplanting, removing plants, sod cutting, and splitting perennials. The blade is made of carbon or stainless steel that is concave shaped to make it ideal for digging and prying. The blade has a large smooth wooden handle for comfortable use with one hand. It can serve as a small hand axe.

The size of the tool varies from 11 to 15 inches (280 to 380 mm) in total length, depending on the size of the handle. The size of the blade can vary, but it is normally around 6+7⁄8 inches (17 cm) × 1+3⁄4 inches (4.4 cm) A stainless-steel blade is often polished to a mirror-like finish, and is usually paired with a scabbard.

The blade is razor-sharp, and one edge is serrated for cutting through roots and tough soil. Functions include a knife, a saw, a digging tool, or as a measuring device for planting bulbs.

Cohen's kappa
