A.M. Leonard Soil Knife

Unlike a standard trowel, this knife features a deeply serrated edge specifically designed to saw through tough roots and fibrous soil. The 6-inch Swedish stainless steel blade provides the rigidity needed to handle these tasks without bending.

Yes, the depth markings are etched directly into the stainless steel blade. They provide a permanent, high-contrast reference point for planting bulbs or seedlings at the correct depth every time.

The handle is ergonomically designed with a contoured grip and a thumb rest, which helps maintain control regardless of hand size. The one-piece molded composite construction is lightweight and shaped to reduce fatigue during extended gardening sessions.

Absolutely. Beyond digging and weeding, the blade includes a specialized twine-cutting notch for garden chores, and the tapered edge is effective for dividing perennials or slicing through sod.

The blade is crafted from high-quality Swedish stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. While it is built to withstand moisture, we recommend wiping the blade clean and dry after use to maintain its longevity.

The wider guard acts as a physical barrier between your hand and the blade. It prevents your hand from slipping forward onto the sharp edge while you are applying pressure to cut through dense roots or compacted soil.
