Hori Hori Garden Knife

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.

Really impressed so far. The serrated edge is sharp enough to cut weeds with thick stems and the side with the straight edge was perfect for cutting overgrown grass by the curb. The prongs were great digging up stubborn grass along the curb line

This tool is a very well made high quality gardening tool. I got this as a gift for my father who wanted a tool that would be sturdier to get roots and small saplings out of the ground and he absolutely raves about this tool. He has stated that this tool is sharp enough that it can split hairs. i would absolutely but this again

Good garden tool, very handy for a variety of garden projects

This thing is nuts. I got it to dig out firepits at campsites but wasn't expecting that I could also defend myself against zombies with this thing. I love it.

I shopped around for this style tool. I’m happy to find a decent hori hori that fits the hand, requires little care, comes with a useful case and seems strong. I wish fiskars had more European production going on, but their designs are generally good. I really wanted to start using a hori hori and I’m pretty happy to have selected this one. Handle fits well in the hand, blade is sturdy and sharp (use gloves!), case is solid with a good belt clip (not easy to sit). It works well in the soil for weed control, makes holes for plantings, cuts through mulch bags. The forked tip could be a problem. I chipped one point early on in use. Maybe it would be better if they were rounded off - or came to a point. (I liked the look of the Corona and would like to try it as well, but something about the composite holster on the fiskars version made me try this one first.) I’d recommend with some reservations.

This Hori Hori knife is awesome, just keep your gloved hand away from it or it cuts right through it. It has come in so handy around the garden. I highly recommend it.

This is the best hori-hori type tool I have owned. The split tongue point is surprisingly useful. The plastic sheath holds the tool securely but it is easy to remove Light weight and easily maneuvered.

Weeding, planting ect.
