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

This soil knife is a great tool to have for any gardener. Can be used for digging, weeding and planting.

There are all kinds of competitors out there. I selected this because of the stainless steel blade, orange plastic handle and commercial grade robust construction. It is not the most elegant on the market, but it is solid, practical, hard to misplace and if it does get left outside, it will not get trashed by the weather. Im an amateur woodworker so I honed the edge and polished the blade face to dress it up before presenting it to my wife. She wasnt sure what to think when I first gave it to her, Two weeks later, it doesnt leave her side. She uses it for everything including culling weeds, pot plants, trim suckers and small branches, and cut twine. Yesterday, she said it was the most considerate gift Ive given her, so i told her I intend to return the diamond earrings she got for her birthday!!!

Love this hori hori.

Great anti-crabgrass device. Real good for planting bulbs. Trims vines easily, but watch your fingers.

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

Although shipping charges were a bit outrageous, this garden knife is tops. Very sturdily constructed, easy to grasp, and the easiest time Ive ever had removing weeds . . . 6 roots and all.

This soil knife is a wonderful tool. I use it for all weeding purposes and also use it to prepare single row seed beds and to plant small seedlings. Its sharp cutting edge is effective in cutting the roots of large recalcitrant weeds.

I couldn’t do without this now that I have it. Great for planting and weeding. The serrated edge can even saw through tough roots.

It would have been a great perfect soil knife if it had a v cut in the tip of the knife!!!! Very disappointing. Everything else was just fine.

Weeding and digging small holes.
