goniccProfessional Hori Hori Garden Knife with Leather Sheath, Protective Handguard, High polished 440 Stainless Steel Blade, Sharpening Stone Included, for Weeding, Digging, Pruning, and Cultivating

There are several knives offered on Amz., here, that look fairly similar. I liked that this one said, straight out, the blade steel was 440 stainless. It is a decent steel and there is a LOT of it here for the price! The plain side was not very sharp initially, but with a fair amount of work on the whetstones it sharpened well. The curved angle was odd to sharpen. I’d just never encountered a blade shape like this. The scooped side I sharpened flatter. The handle was very blocky and large. A little sanding of the edges rounded it some and made it more comfortable in hand. Sheath is decent and sturdy. The A) tiny whetstone it comes with is B) very coarse. I’d not use it on the knife fir these reasons. It is a heavy, formidable, blade that will serve many purposes while gardening.

This gardening tool is as versatile as they get in the garden. It digs, it weeds, it cuts roots, it mixes fertilizer into the dirt and is such a pleasure to use. The knife itself is both sturdy and attractive. The included sheath and sharpening stone are welcomed to protect and maintain the tool. A nice size that is easy to find if you put it down. Creative tool that is so handy to have when getting down close to your plants! I like this garden knife!

Best garden hand tool. I use it every day in my landscaping business. It digs, cuts and saws. This design is unbreakable (so far!) and it can be sharpened. This one comes with sharpener. Works well on plants, bushes, dirt, and when working in landscaping rock. Planting or weeding is made easy with this tool. Fall and spring cleanup are a breeze with this tool. My only problem is misplacing it. If you used the sheath on a belt, this wouldn't be a problem.

This knife is very nice. It’s a little bit heavy but not bad. It is a very good quality and is fairly thick. I use it to dig weeds out of my yard and it works perfectly. I Highly recommend this knife.

I was getting a little tired of all the crabgrass around my property, so I decided to buy a tool that I had considered for a long time. I was a little wary of the gonicc brand over some of the pricier competitors with more recognizable brand names, but I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did!Using the saw-edge of the blade, I went up and down my driveway, using the blade to cut up the weeds before scooping them out. I winced a little at the sound of steel against stone, but the tool held up to this abuse really well. I carefully inspected it after all the work, and I can definitely say the edges held up well without a roll or dulling. I really like that it came with a belt-loop sheath as well, though it does seem to cut it up a little going back in.It's earned a place in my lawn routine, and I can definitely recommend it. The whole tool is solid-feeling, and constructed very well. A tough gardening tool with a lot of utility.
