Topline Hori Hori Garden Knife, Garden Knife with Leather Sheath

Sharp blade lasts a long time and I've used to even cut off small branches on the go and dig in heavy clay. Weight is so important in a hori hori and is almost never listed. This one is heavy enough to handle most of the toughest jobs but light enough for a landscaper/gardener to use all day on the job. The ergonomics of the handle are perfect - nothing visually fancy is needed, just a tool that actually works and this one does. My last order of this item lasted less than a year - it's still intact and sharp enough but the wood handle is loose. The previous order of this item lasted 3 years until the wood broke and that blade is still good also. I'm ordering this one again, it's definitely worth it, especially viewing the other options from other companies - this is one of my favorite hori hori I've worked with over 20+ years.

Given as a gift and my daughter said it was perfect for her garden. Planting and weeding.

I bought this as a gift. I love the quality and detail it has. Very functional and will be used a lot. The person I bought for absolutely loves it.

I looked at a bunch of these & other digging tools for slicing into turf while metal detecting. This arrived in good condition in a nice box. Slightly on the heavy side (even for outdoor women like me) with solid thick gauge steel that is in fact through tang. Possibly the wood in the handle shrunk a bit with natural drying, making the tang just a bit sharp on the edges. Not sharp enough to cut you, but enough that I’d want to grind it down or wrap it were I to use it all day every day, like a landscaper or serious gardener. The rivets are not an issue & the wood is securely on the tang. But the wood on the handle is only thinly finished in a red-orange varnish, is only slightly rounded off and still kind of square. If you’re handy there is enough material for you to shape it a better with a grinder/sander & maybe put another coat of sealer on it, which I recommend. Really the workmanship on the handle is not great, but it’s good enough. Pluses for me were the riveted leather sheath with belt loop which is well made, the cool sharpening gadget that includes a tool for sharpening the serrations in the blade & the big, chef-like sharpening stone that I can use for this & other things. Haven’t used the tool or stone yet as the knife arrived super sharp. As for the sheath: the leather at the top of the sheath is getting shredded on the side where the serrations are on the knife - may or may not continue once the sheath is broken in? Unknown. I still am OK with the purchase as the knife appears indestructible & should be perfect once the handle gets a bit more attention. It’s so solid, I can’t image what it would take to damage it!

Hi Quality, solid wood handle, serrated edge seems very durable. Gloves recommended.

This is a nice well-made product. I don’t use it a lot but when I do need it, it’s there and it works great.

Best garden tool ever for the home owner. I use it all the time. I don't go to the garden without it Got one for my father too

Everybody should try this implement at least once. It was money well spent, and I enjoy using it in my garden every day.
