Your SwissâArmy Tool for the Home Garden

Trowel, weeder, saw, dibbler without the bulk: A horiâhori does the job of at least four separate tools in one 7âł - 9âł (18â23âŻcm) implement
Built to last: Many models feature full tang stainlessâ or carbonâsteel blades and hardwood handles riveted for strength; most come with leather or plastic sheaths that clip to your belt, so the tool is always at hand and out of harmâs way.
