   The best garden trowel I’ve ever owned. It’s tough, you can sharpen it to knife blade sharpness if desired. It cuts through roots, digs, can spark a ferro rod, it’s really a bush-crafting tool in my view, and I haven’t decided if I’m keeping mine in with my bug out gear, my camping equipment, the garden shed next to the pruners. It’s a great tool. I paid more for mine than they are currently selling for which makes it an even better deal. Apparently they have a new version, but there is nothing wrong with this one at all.I don’t hand out many 5 star reviews. This one earned it.

   For the price especially, this is the best option available. Superb quality, this is made to last. The metal is very thick and blackened which is a stark contrast to the well-ground and sharpened edges. These edges allow it to slice through my clay native soil with ease. I don’t mind if I hit a stone as the steel is quite hard. Despite this. It can slice through roots with ease, and I’ve even used it for pruning in a pinch (the notch is really useful for that, and cutting rope). Handles all garden tasks with ease – excellent performance. The blade is a perfect length too – highly recommended!

   Very good quality for the price. It is a high quality tool, without needing to be over the top in terms of what comes in the package. Performs as advertises, even better. Comfortable grip and cool looking. Very easy to use, the little hook on the blade is very handy. Well sized for removing weeds from the roots. If you’re looking for a fancy trowel, this is not that.

   I bought two of these, same brand but with different blade configurations. Both are the best, most sturdy weeding knives I’ve ever had. These replaced a lighter, more flimsy garden knife and the difference is night and day. They do a better job on everything than my old knife did.Very sharp serrated and non-serrated sides of the blade that cut through the toughest weed roots easily.I’d recommend these knives to anyone needing a garden knife.

   The Hori Hori garden knife is a versatile and durable tool, perfect for digging, cutting, and weeding. Its sharp, dual-edged blade and sturdy handle provide excellent control and precision. The depth markings are useful for planting, and the robust design ensures longevity. An essential tool for any gardener.

   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!

   I really like my Hori Hori knife. I use it for digging blackberries and other weeds that I have all around my property. It’s perfectly designed for loosening the long roots and prying the plant out of the ground. Other reviewers have commented that the edges were not sharp enough. I don’t think a sharper edge would work for me since I use it primarily for digging and loosening roots. A sharper blade would make it more likely that I’d cut the root rather than dig it out. The tool is well built and sturdy. The handle attaches through the tang of the blade for additional strength. Tie an orange ribbon to it. It’s hard to find if you put it down on the ground.
