Fisker Hori Hori

Got this today at Home Depot for 24.99. Stainless with full tang and butt cap. Lifetime warranty. Seems like real good quality.

Looks great... Gonna check my HD to see if they have them.

Dang near too pretty to use! I like this style because they ride flat on your hip unlike the Lesche style with the big 90 degree bend with the handle welded to it. I like the stainless butt cap on this too. I have never used the Lesche style and I'm sure they are great for digging but it seems it would be awkward protruding from your hip 2 inches. Besides Hori Hori translates to Dig Dig! I added the lanyard but the hole is already there.

I know a few MDers that swear by them, but I prefer my Lesche hand digger.

I checked and my HD has 3 of them. Gonna get one this evening after work. Thanks for the post.

Did you get one?

Yes Sir. Looks really strong to come from a box store.. Very Satisfied. Gonna use it for my water hunts. I have a Lesche and a White's I use in the dirt.

My Japanese hori hori will bend in hard ground if you use it too aggressively

Fiskars says theirs wont bend or break so if it does I will test their Lifetime Warranty. What brand is yours? There are lot of cheap ones out there on Ebay and Amazon.

Ehhh I’ll have to look. Mine got wet at the beach and is now kinda of messed up.

This Fiskar is stainless too. Seems to be a good heat treated blade as it is magnetic like a good stainless knife is. Lots of people will tell you stainless isnt magnetic but every good stainless knife is.

did kind of the same thing. On line AM Leonard has a heavy duty deluxe soil knife. Very heavy, nice handle with leather sheath. $24 without sheath, about $30 with. You can get a coupon for $10 off 1st order and sometimes free shipping. Great heavy built knife.
