We love to dig in the dirt and any tool that makes the experience more fun is a tool we want in our bag. After spending countless years testing all different types of tools from locations around the world, the Barebones founder discovered a tool called the Hori Hori. Roughly translated from Japanese, Hori Hori means Dig Dig.
The Barebones Hori Hori, based on a Japanese garden knife was designed to be the ultimate multi tool in your garden and Barebones' unique take on this tool should feel right at home in any garden setting. A quality walnut handle and tempered steel blade mean this tool is built to last. Digging, trenching, planting, cutting, and even popping the top off your choice of refreshing beverage, we think you'll find the Barebones Hori Hori to be your favourite go-to bushcraft tool.
A sheath is not supplied, but is available separately. See "Related Products", below.

The handle is sort of splayed at the butt like it hasn't been connected properly. Can't adjust that. The blade is veeeeery thick and blunt at the tip... It's not a blade at all at that point. The wood of the handle is coarse and splintery in places... And just the whole entire thing feels incredibly badly balanced and wrong in the hand. I love the dark colours, the small-ish size and the overall idea of this, but it's just so badly made...
Great product
Nice size and sharp. Perfect for getting roots for herbal projects.
Bought a second one for myself to go with my camping gear and a third as a gift for a sibling who is a keen gardener. Good solid piece of kit, in its basic form, a very useful tool. My first one, the one I keep at home for the garden has been sharpened a bit at the tip to allow easier penetration of hard packed soil and I've sanded off the varnish and oiled the wood for better damp weather grip. Service from H&H as always, is very good.
Excellent for the garden which I presume it's intended works very well for me solid strong quite sharp and the length over a normal trowel is useful to say the least.
Brilliant tool
I bought this to upgrade a more basic Hori Hori which has been my inseparable friend for a number of years. The Barebones Hori Hori is a little disappointing by comparison. Although very well made, robust and attractive, a couple of features let it down somewhat. The handle is quite narrow, even for my small hands, and extended use makes it hard to maintain a firm grip. The other issue is the tip; it is slightly curved and deliberately thickened which makes it difficult to spear and lift deep roots which removes a valuable function of the tool.
The tip came way too thick for a digging tool. Filed it down and now it’s much better. The sharpened portion bevel comes down to about a 1mm edge which is ok for hacking, Might sharpen it at some point but the serrations are already plenty sharp as it is! Maybe the more expensive version has it all spot on, but I don’t mind having to do a bit of work on this one for half the price. Out of the box, digging in loose soil was fine but too blunt for compacted ground and it couldn’t dig a weed out of grass for example. If you want a ‘go to’ all rounder then the thickness at the tip needs looking at. It’s hefty and should last a lifetime. Great now it’s been modified.
