In most ways, this product is excellent, as has been noted by other reviewers. In spite of this, the metal edges on the handle (tang) jut out a few millimeters past the wood on my knife, making a sharp edge you can see along the surface One of the sides of mine is almost a knife edge, so I must use it with gloves if I intend to use it This flaw is not major. A one-star deduction must be made from an otherwise excellent product. ****Addendum As of this evening, March 10, 2016, there are 87 reviews for this knife. Upon posting my review (#87) this morning, I reviewed the previous 86 reviews more carefully. The majority (75%) of those 86 reviews were written and posted by people who received the tool "at a discount or for free" in exchange for a good, honest review. At the moment, 81 of these 87 reviews give the product a 5-star rating. Although I am uncertain of the technology behind this system, I do not like its.

There is something I love about A few years ago, I bought one of these Hori knives because it made me wonder where it had been all my life and I wanted another for my studio courtyard. I bought this one from Black Iron Tools at a good price, but it was an enormous disappointment in quality. In the case of a well-designed product, the fact that it was made in China shouldn't matter. Due to its appearance and heft, it appears the blade will not break under pressure. The handle must be easy to grasp too, with the intended uses. Horis usually have a tang that goes all the way around, but on this one, it includes sharp metal edges on both sides of the handle, as though the wood was skimped on. The fact that I had to wear heavy gloves all the time almost didn't bother me. There are also lots of rivets on both sides of the handle that poke out at an angle and will snag your hand, so this was returned. From ML Tools I ordered one I have for a little bit more When comparing the two, it is obvious the Black Iron tool also fails to meet ergonomic standards, even if the poorly finished rivets and protruding tangs have been You'd better invest a bit more in the right gear!.

I am disappointed. My thumb was embedded by the splinter after I ran my hand over the handle for the first time. Here are some photos I attached. It is easy to see that the splinter is caused by the poor quality of the wood. There's no way this will hold up In addition, when you remove the plastic from the blade and put the blade in the sheath, the leather inside grinds into dust which will fall on your floor when you unsheath the knife. A sheath is just packaging then, isn't it?.

That's right. I was mocked by my wife when she saw it. That's right. I have been married for 30 years and she is mocking me about the It was then that she dug up weeds with it, so she changed her mind about its use. In spite of the fact that she mocks me for many other things, this tool is her favorite. Taking out weeds was a lot easier with it, she said. There are times when a husband will do things the right way. Here's the short version of what's going on. The quality of this product is such that you will pass it on to your children, and they will pass it on to their children. Even though it has a good deal of weight to it, that speaks to its superb This program is not at all difficult to use. IF it were, then I would not have allowed my wife to use.

The low-cost tool could be very useful in working on a deer or cow carcass, and to saw the bones into manageable shapes. You could even use it to plant tulips.
It is a very heavy duty bag. There are plenty of these at the fish camp and on the deer lease, and the guys would be glad to have one. Designed as a knife with two sides - the first side is serrated and sharp like a scalpel. The other side can be used as a knife, taking as much edge as you like. Equipped with a whetstone and a leather scabbard. It was claimed in earlier reviews that the tang edges extended beyond the handles, and felt like a razor blade against the hand. On my version, that wasn't a factor in my The one thing I hate about getting it dirty is getting.

It is too big, heavy and not very ergonomically designed for me, even though I usually like big, heavy knives. A poor job was done on the craftsmanship. Handle is fat, steel is exposed on the tang, and the steel is not ground flat. It has been a pleasure to read all of these Though it was not expensive, I will probably keep it, but I will probably buy a new It has an orange handle and is made in America.

This digging tool can be used to dig weeds and to trap My Hori Hori is the same one I bought five years ago under a different brand and I love Compared to that one, this one comes with a much better sheath (solid leather stitched and riveted) and is less expensive The quality of the product has been better than the two similar versions I have purchased previously. You will notice that the handle is attached by three pins. The soup is full flavored -- i. e. , it's "full tangy. ". In addition, the metal from blade to handle extends all the way to the butt of the knife, making the knife stronger and allowing me to use it like a pry bar to hack at deep-rooted weeds. In particular, I like it for preparing holes for gophers to dig into The ones with an exposed side guard on the side should not be used for this purpose. Please note There are quite a few sharp edges on both sides of the blade, which I am sure some people like, but I just dig with it, so pointy is nice, but sharp edges present a safety risk. There is a sharpening stone as well, which can also be used as a dulling stone, depending on your preference.
