The UB189 BONSAI+ stainless steel sansai hori is a compact, purpose-built pocket knife made for digging and harvesting wild mountain vegetables, known in Japan as sansai. Its shape lets it cut through soil, tangled roots, and tough stems with ease, making it a favorite among foragers who need one reliable tool for fieldwork.
Foraging for sansai is a cherished seasonal tradition in Japan, and the sansai hori knife has long been the classic implement for it: part digging tool, part blade, built to handle whatever the trail or garden bed demands.
This example is crafted from stainless steel, giving it strong rust resistance and lasting durability for repeated outdoor use. As a pocket knife, it folds down for easy carrying, so it travels well whether you're headed into the mountains or just out to tend your own garden.
Brand new and unused, this BONSAI+ piece pairs traditional Japanese design with a practical, modern build, ready to become a dependable companion for your next outdoor adventure.
