The Midnight Hori Hori is the knife behind OutdoorKnife.com. It's sold at HoriHori.com by Bridgetown Garden Tools, the Oregon company that designs it.

Hori hori knives started as gardening tools, and most people still buy them for the garden. We built this site because we learned that many of our customers take it camping, and it turns out to be a genuinely versatile outdoor tool.

FAQ

Is it a gardening tool or a camping knife?

Both. It's the same knife; this site focuses on how it works at camp.

Can I take it backpacking?

Yes, but at 15.5 oz it's best for trips where it replaces a separate trowel and knife.

Is it legal to carry?

It's a 7.5" fixed blade. Rules vary by state, city and park, so check where you're going.

How do I keep it sharp?

Use the included sharpener on the fine edge every few trips. Clean and dry the blade before you sheath it.

Ready to add it to your kit?

$59.99 with leather sheath and sharpener included.
