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

High Quality and Lifetime Warranty
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.

Exactly what I was looking for !!
I forgot I ordered this and picked one up from a big box store for $12. When this arrived it was a no brainer to return the other one and keep this one. I immediately ran out and dug up a few weeds. Its nice and sharp and slid right into my hard ground, just like you want a knife to do in your kitchen. The other one was thicker, less sharp and did not slide into the ground as easy. I also used the knife portion to cut off part of my sweet potato vine that is in my planter. That stuff grows so well even in the brutal Texas heat, that it tries to take over the pot. I was glad I would just cut off what I dont want. Have some dusty miller that has done the same thing. I cut portons of it off when it takes over.I dont like dragging scissors or box knives out to the flower box, seems I get busy and lay it down, and when I need my house scissors or knife, I dont know where it is. Of course thats my brain issue, but I love having a dedicated tool. The sheath is such a nice extra bonus !! If you want to call it a bonus, its really more of a necessity. With this sheath on I can tuck it under my arm or clip it onto my jeans and move about doing the other things I need to, and not lose it. The other one from the big box store just had a think plastic sheath that is not really a sheath as much as it was part of the packaging.

Multi use Hori tool
Best versatile tool for dig, cutting and slicing

Great tool!
I do not hit the garden without this! Great tool and so useful!

Weeding, planting ect.

I bought this knife as it cuts through grass like butter cleanly. This is useful for metal detecting as I want to leave the park looking nice and don’t want to be too destructive. It is also great for removing weeds/dandelions since it can get at the taproot. The scale on the knife is also fun to measure the root size/ knowing how far to dig down as per my detector. Happy with this knife.

All I can say is THANK YOU Fiskars for this great tool!
