Love this tool…very effective for digging out the weeds…and sharp enough to hack throough some smaller vines etc. It has good heft and you quickly master the most effective way of weed removal…using the saw blade edge to dig part way around and then lift…the Hori Hori is strong enough that you can really put some pressure(pry)on it.

I recommend this Hori Hori knife to other gardeners every chance I get.
After I started using my Hori Hori I loved it so much I never went outside into the yard without it on my belt.
Every few steps I take it comes in handy. I love rearranging the plants and i’m always weeding. Now I just whip out the Hori Hori and dig up a plant, then use the knife to dig the new hole to replant. I’m always using it to remove weeds. I use it to cut the roots off the celery and lettuce before I bring them into the house. I use it to harvest vegetable from the stems.
Honestly I’m sure i’ve never had a gardening tool this useful. I bought one for my mother. I’m planning to buy another for a friend at church. It’s the perfect gift.
This model is very sturdy and easy to keep clean. I keep this knife cleaner than I keep my car. It’s the first time i’ve ever paid so much attention to keeping track of my tools. The rest of them are scattered around the property until they get tripped over.
I have not yet sharpened the blade. I think that might be a chore but it will need to be done at some point. I’ve used mine for a few months now and i’m assuming at the end of this season it’ll need sharpening.

A hori hori is the best digging tool you can use, much more so than a trowel. Among hori hori, this is the best one I have used. It is very sharp and its long blade gives you more leverage and greater reach into the soil. This is an excellent tool for planting and weeding. I have also used the A. M. Leonard soil knife, which is essentially a hori hori, and though that is a great tool, this one is better.

This is a very helpful garden tool. Really don’t need anything else. It is strong and sturdy and is geat to dig, measure the depth to plant seedlings and also cut out any old roots lurking in the soil. I am very pleased with the investment. Looks like it will last a lifetime!
