A.M. Leonard Soil Knife

Unlike a traditional trowel, this tool features a dual-edged blade with both a straight edge for slicing and a serrated edge for sawing through roots. Its tapered design also allows it to function as a digging tool, a weeding knife, and a root saw all in one.

Yes, the serrated edge is specifically designed to handle tough gardening tasks like cutting through root systems and dividing plant crowns. It is robust enough to manage most woody roots encountered during routine landscaping.

The handle features an extra-wide integrated guard that prevents your hand from slipping forward onto the blade while you are applying pressure. This is particularly helpful when you are digging into compacted soil or sawing through stubborn debris.

While the blade is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally resistant to corrosion, it is best practice to clean and dry the tool after use. Proper maintenance will ensure the blade remains in top condition for years.

The tool has an overall length of 11.75 inches, with a 5.75-inch handle that provides a secure, ergonomic grip. Its lightweight design of 0.8 pounds helps reduce hand fatigue during extended gardening sessions.

The lifetime warranty covers the entire tool, including both the stainless-steel blade and the molded composite handle. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the tool's durability and long-term performance.
