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

I use this every day during gardening season…. Great for weeding, transplanting seedlings or planting out annuals, dividing perennials, can cut twine with it, etc… have had one for more than 10 yrs, and bought this one as a gift for a fellow gardener. The orange handle is nice…helps you find it if you lay it down somewhere… forget to bring it in one day, no problem…no rust….

Im a 71 yr old woman who used the knife to cut dandelions and other weeds from my garden and lawn. Im not all that strong but somehow the blade broke off from the handle. Upon inspection I realized that the two pieces were attached by just a little rivet that had rusted through. I got about 9 months of use from the knife (which I loved) bur for the money it was a bad investment. Ive found that regular kitchen knives purchased from the Goodwill for under $5,00 work just as well!

I love this knife. It was recommended to me by my neighbor who sees me in the garden all the time. Its very sturdy. It cuts for edging and is great at pulling up dandelions! I love the orange handle so I can see it easily if Ive set it down. A must for gardening. Make sure you buy the deluxe soil knife. The regular one isnt as sharp!

Good adds on to the garden tools. Versatile

An owner of a landscaping company said she had test many soil knives and this is the only model she will purchase for her company. I used it an employee (~2012) and the knife was at least 5 years old with a lot of hours on it. The teeth had dulled a little bit but were still great and the quality of the knife was great and sturdy. No longer an employee, I bought my own in 2020 and wowee, the teeth are even more fantastic and family members that use it rave about the quality as well.

Wow! I have two now since I misplaced one. Best tool I own!

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

This is soooo sharp, which was great when sawing through roots and ivy vines, but when I stupidly went to swipe a clump of soil off the blade, I cut my finger. A true soil knife but if you have been using an old, dull tool, be careful. :)

Were throwing away all of our old rusty garden tools & were replacing them with this stainless steel item. Well use it primarily for weeding.

This thing cuts through grass and other small roots like a knife - because it is a knife. It still didnt need sharpening but I would imagine that it will take some time to sharpen the serated side of the knife.
