FiskarsHori Hori Garden Knife with Sheath, Multi-Purpose Heavy Duty Gardening Hand Tool for Weeding, Planting, Digging with Hanging Hole

It's all the features I wanted in a hori hori, plus an extra one I didn't know I wanted; the forked tip is handy for prying sturdy roots loose, and is durable enough that I'm not concerned it will weaken the tip.I was looking at similarly priced traditional ones, but they all had reviews stating that the blade would break in half at the handle when used for digging. Sturdy traditional hori hori can cost over $100, so I decided I'd give this Fiskars version a try since I've always been happy with their other lawncare tools and utility scissors.The stainless steel blade is permanently moulded into the plastic handle, and by using a magnet it seems that the tang extends just past 3/4 of the way down (stops at the orange part).The included sheath holds the tool securely and the clip is wide enough to grab onto large utility belts. It's quite stiff, so you'll need to wear it on a spot that's out of the way of your legs when walking. There are drainage holes at the bottom, so it's quite easy to hose clean (though I ways wipe the blade clean on my pant leg before sheathing). I've never had any Fiskars plastic become brittle or crack, even when carelessly left outside for years, so I expect this sheath will be no different.I've so far used it for digging planting holes, aerating the soil around a root base, digging up weeds, cutting dried up flower stalks, and removing sod that had encroached into a planter bed. It performed to my expectations in all tasks.I'm very happy with the build quality and don't anticipate it will sustain damage anytime soon, but if it ever does Fiskars has a very generous warranty.It's a bit goofy looking, and not everyone likes the orange/black Fiskars colors (though I appreciate the high contrast / visibility when I absent-mindedly set it down on the green or brown ground) but this is most likely the best value hori hori you can buy.

If you are going to try a hori-hori, this is the level of tool to get. Has all the right stuff especially a useful serrated edge and a great sheath. Lesser brands will have you hacking rather than sawing. There may be superior ones but this one makes me happy.

Fiskars quality is second to none!!! This is a must have tool for all gardeners. Great for planting/ transplanting.

Very sharp ,perfect for what I need!!

This is great! So easy to weed!

It’s a knife for cutting into soil. It’s fine, nothing special, but does the job.

Very sharp, excellent tool.

This is my number 1 go-to gardening tool. I use it for so many chores from weeding to cutting open bags of potting soil. I have gifted these to gardening family members and friends. Best gardening tool ever! Why did you pick this product vs others?:Trust the Fiskar brand because have other products from them including scissors for sewing.
