A.M. Leonard Deluxe Soil Knife, Orange – Hori Hori w/ 6-Inch Stainless Steel Blade

Sturdy shaft extends into the handle and the blade works for the toughest jobs in my Rick and clay soil

Best tool in the garden

Loved mine so much I started buying them for gifts. Worth every penny

The serrated blade is quite sharp. I drew the knife from the wholly inadequate paper sheath and bloodied my pinky.

This Japanese garden knife is fantastic! I’ve had two for years, one for me and one for my husband, he lost his. We ordered another. If you want a piece of garden equipment that is a workhorse this knife is for you. Ours stays sharp and is easy to handle, cuts through the soil , bags of dirt, fertilizer or anything else, it is wonderful to get weeds dig up or to plant bulbs. I highly recommend this product for anyone that gardens.

I broke my Fiskars model from that large box store with the word home in it, and decided to try this as a replacement. Its fantastic! Equal to the one I had, sharp sturdy and convenient. A sheath would be nice, but I use the old one from fiskars. Then I found out my old one had a lifetime warranty. Sent them a picture and they replaced it free! Nice, who does THAT anymore?!? So now I have 2, and I must admit, the only drawback to this tool that makes it my second choice is the handle. While the nice bright color makes it easy to find when you stick it in the ground and forget where, the other model has a wooden handle which I find more comfortable. I guess if you wear gloves you wouldnt even notice, but I often work with out them, and in that case, this model is my second choice. Overall, consider the lifetime warrantee of the fiskars, and level of comfort you want from the handle, but no complaints with this one. Its an an awesome tool!

Fits the hand

It’s not as traditional looking as the wood handle Japanese hori hori I previously used. But the bright orange handle should assure I don’t lose this one in the garden like the wood one. The serrated edge helps cut stubborn roots.

This garden tool is fantastic. I cant figure out why it has taken me so long to realize how it would make my work easier in the garden. The only problem I have is that my husband borrowed it for landscaping use and he hasnt returned it since. I may have to buy a second one to keep peace in the family.

Second soil knife I’ve had. I use it mostly for weeds and planting small plants
