A.M. Leonard Soil Knife Hori Hori

Unlike a standard trowel, the Hori Hori combines a digging tool with a knife. Its 6-inch stainless steel blade features both a serrated edge for sawing through tough roots and a sharp, tapered edge for slicing, making it far more versatile for weeding and dividing plants.

Yes, the stainless steel blade is designed for durability and can handle prying out rocks and stubborn weeds. However, like any knife, it is best used for leverage rather than extreme prying to avoid potential damage.

The high-visibility orange handle is a safety feature designed to help you easily spot the tool in your garden beds or compost pile, preventing you from accidentally leaving it behind or stepping on it.

The composite plastic handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip, even when your hands are muddy or wet. It also includes a wide safety guard to keep your hand from slipping forward onto the blade while you work.

Absolutely. Because the blade is made of stainless steel, you can maintain its edge over time using a standard sharpening stone or file, ensuring it remains effective for cutting roots and dividing plants for years to come.
