I have purchased(and lost) several other HoiHori knives. This is heavier,sharper and has some additional features. I’m using mine now for some heavy duty weeding. The case can be hung up for easy use. Very well made.Oh..and after buying this I found 3 other lost knives . That’s always the way.

Sturdy. Favorite feature is the measurement scale on the blade! The case is nice, but I rarely use it. Comfortable to use, inexpensive for a high quality tool, works great for planting. Not so much for weeding.

Its bigger overall than I expected. Its the perfect garden knife, you can cut and dig with it. The blade has a shovel style bend to it so its perfect for digging small 6in holes. It fits in the sheath nicely with no play so you don’t have to worry about it falling out but its still easily goes in and out by hand.

We moved into a house with extremely compacted clay soil. I occasionally questioned if I wasn’t digging over some shallow buried concrete or pavers from someone’s previous project because tools just would not push into the soil but nope, the soil is just that hard. I bent a few trowels meant for digging in rocky soils so I decided to upgrade.This is the only garden tool I can shove into the ground here without having to use something I can stand on to push it down. I’ve used it to leverage old, 2′ long cement pavers that had sunken down into the ground and become encased in the clay. I dug over 1′ down in an area that river rock had been dumped over top of the old rock year after year as it sank down and became a part of the compacted clay. It’s narrow enough to make a slice in the lawn and remove the roots of weeds like oriental bittersweet or small pest trees without killing the surrounding grass.The edge is more than sharp enough to cut yourself and many sturdy but not older, woody plant stems that you don’t care how neatly it’s cut. It is not a fine knife blade. It wouldn’t stay sharp long being shoved in the ground and possibly against rocks and landscaping materials if it was. If I want to frequently and cleanly cut something I buy a knife or specific cutting tool and keep the edges oiled and sanded to make a neater, easier cut.The edge on this is most useful for shoving into and cutting along roots or digging hard ground. Along with easily sliding into nearly any soil it can tear through a good sized taproot relative to how small the tool is and cut through tangled masses of roots in overgrown areas. It is not a complete replacement for pruning shears or a good pocket knife when you need to make careful cuts in a plant. None of those are meant for shoving into soil regularly without rusting and will take damage if they encounter too hard of material.If I hit rock or metal while cutting something with my pocket knife I often have to go remove the burr and eventually put a new edge on it. I also have to make sure to clean any soil and source of moisture off tools with a sharp edge to avoid rust. By not having a very fine edge this tool will still cut into tough plant matter or compacted and rocky soil the same as before you ran the edge down that landscaping stone you didn’t realize was that close, find there’s concrete farther out from that post than planned, or hit the bottom of the chainlink fence. I’ve also left it sit a few days with wet soil on it before I wiped it off and not had it rust any. Inevitably garden tools eventually get forgotten prior to a rainstorm at some point in their lifespan (probably several times) so rust resistance greatly reduces effort when people are too tired or hot from yard chores to remember every tool or clean everything off right away.Maintenance is reduced while being suitable for it’s purpose and also reducing how badly you cut yourself if it does hit something and stop. Digging in our compacted soil full of mystery items from past concrete post settings, decorative rock areas, a myriad of buried landscaping pavers and boulders, and lots of half broken down landscaping timbers the fact it won’t send you to the ER if your hands end up in the way when it gets stopped or deflected by something is a good thing.The notched area supposedly for use as a bottle open seems pointless but hasn’t caused any problems. I have decided it’s existence can be completely ignored and overlooked.

I have only used this two days during a weekend in the back yard, but it has met expectations. I had thought I had lost my Fiskars Hori Knife that I had for many years, but got this on sale as a replacement. Here are some of my thoughts so far:1. Nice thick full tang blade that does a good job taking weeds out of the ground2. Hefty mass to it that allows the smooth bladed side to become a bit of a chopper. I was able to prune down small branches of about quarter to half inch diameter. I may sharpen the smooth edged side to make it a bit sharper though3. Serrated edge saws through th the same branches as well4. The little notched edge works well to cut twine5. Nice belt loop and sheath to keep it on you while you do things around the yard, easy to useIt has only been one weekend, but it appears to be well worth the money and met and exceeded my expectations. It so far has performed better than my old Fiskars Hori knife. Which my wife found later… Oh well, now I have two!

Wasn’t sure what to think of this too, but I’ve been converted. Makes a great weeding tool. The saw side is sufficient for cutting small branches. Handle is comfortable. Tried the sheath on a belt and so far not sold on that, but otherwise and excellent general purpose implement

Thick steel and nice wood handle. Its like cross of a knife and a trowel but Id rather use this now than a trowel; gets roots great.

I love this! Sharp and strong. Cuts through dirt and weeds easily. I’ve used the serrated edge to trim flowers or cut off dead plant material (not woody material). I did paint the handle because I mulch with wood so I could never find it when I left it in my flower bed. I don’t use the sheath because I don’t want to put dirt inside it. I have a loop on my work belt that fits great. (I think it’s made for a hammer?)

This is my third hori hori-for some reason, I loose them, probably throwing them out with weeds I’ve dug out with my knife! I wouldn’t be without one, and have gotten them as gifts for friends who garden. Everyone loves them!

Saw this tool on “This Old House”The second I saw it I started to shop for it.Usually I don’t get lucky and I have to try 2 or 3 different models of an Amazon purchase before I find the one that suits me. Not this time, 1st shot! This is the one you should buy. You won’t be disappointed.
