Do you Hori Hori? Sounds like a dance doesn't it, but it is a great garden tool.
The Hori Hori (literal Japanese translation 'dig dig') is a versatile tool that does the work of several tools. The pointed blade and beveled shape work as a garden spade while the serrated edge can be used as a garden knife for sod cutting, edging, dividing perennials, slashing, pruning, harvesting and sawing. Perfect for weeding, transplanting, and cutting open fertilizer bags.

The blade is usually 7-8 inches long, small enough to carry around for a number of garden chores. Some have a sheath to protect the edges and making them easy to attach to your gardening clothes. Some of the Hori Hori have a ruler on one side, which would make it handy for planting bulbs.
