A.M. Leonard Soil Knife

Unlike a traditional trowel, this tool features a dual-edged Swedish stainless-steel blade that allows you to slice through roots, open bags, and cut twine. Its narrow profile makes it significantly more effective for weeding and precision planting in tight spaces.

Yes, the depth markers are molded into the handle, providing a permanent reference for planting bulbs or seeds at specific depths. Because the handle is a high-visibility orange, the markings remain clear even when you are working in soil or low-light conditions.

The knife features a one-piece molded construction, which provides excellent structural integrity for prying and digging. While it is robust, it is designed primarily for gardening tasks; avoid using it as a heavy-duty pry bar on rocks or concrete to maintain the blade's edge.

Wipe the blade clean and dry it after each use to prevent soil buildup and potential corrosion. The leather sheath should be kept dry and can be treated occasionally with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Yes, the leather sheath includes a built-in belt slot designed to accommodate most standard-width utility or work belts. It is positioned to keep the knife secure and accessible while you move around the garden.
