Most camp kits carry a knife, a trowel, a small saw and something to tap in tent stakes. That's four tools doing four jobs.

The knife we carry is a hori hori, a Japanese digging knife that gardeners have used for generations. Campers are finding the same thing gardeners did: one tough, broad blade can do a surprising amount of work.

What it handles at camp

  • Digs: A concave 7.5" blade scoops soil for cat holes, fire rings and drainage trenches.
  • Saws: One serrated edge cuts through roots, vines, cordage and small branches.
  • Slices: The fine edge handles food prep, rope and packaging.
  • Pounds and pries: A full-length tang and solid handle stand up to setting tent stakes and prying rocks loose.
  • Measures: Depth markings on the blade tell you when a cat hole reaches the recommended 6–8 inches.
What it's not: It isn't a bushcraft knife for splitting wood or fine carving, and it won't replace a hatchet. It's a camp workhorse for digging and everyday cutting.
