Hand-made by third generation family craftsmen in Miki, Japan, Niwaki x Ffern’s Hori Hori is forged from SK-5 carbon steel. Traditionally used by Japanese farmers for unearthing mountain vegetables such as bamboo shoots, Hori Hori - “dig dig” in Japanese - can be used for weeding, planting, seed drilling, stone prising and more. Emblazoned with foliate designs by Lukas the Illustrator, it comes inside a hand-stitched emerald leather sheath.
