Nothing beats a good Japanese style hori hori with a high carbon blade for its purpose of digging and cutting, however, this version combines the function of a traditional hori hori —a serrated cutting edge and a smooth ground cutting edge opposite -- and adds a slight cup to the blade for scooping and moving small amounts of dirt. The hickory handle is riveted in place between an open socket.
