Heat-treated 4Cr13 stainless steel. These two durable materials come together to create one of Barebones' most beloved and celebrated tools. Known for its density and fine, straight grain, walnut gives the Hori Hori handle a high-end feel without being too heavy. 4Cr13 stainless steel exhibits good polishing and resharpening properties and excellent resistance to corrosion, both crucial qualities for a hard-worked woodsman tool. The InspirationFirst implemented in Japan, the Hori Hori was originally used for careful and methodical excavating of plants, such as Sansai, in high elevation mountains. Translated from Japanese, Hori Hori means "dig dig", a perfect nod to the original and most common use. The DesignBarebones took the iconic Hori Hori and elevated it to a woodsman-style tool. The Hori Hori Ultimate II is a hearty multi-purpose tool to use in your backyard, camping, bush-crafting, or anywhere you need it.
