Product Description

Hori-hori knives are reminiscent of a cross between a hand trowel and a knife. Based on a traditional Japanese design, they are ideal for dividing, planting, weeding, digging, and cleaning. This is the perfect tool for lawn and garden, rockhounding, metal detecting, and landscaping.
Because the stainless steel blade has a straight edge and a serrated edge, it makes it easier to saw through tough roots, making it super easy to divide perennial plants. The easy-to-use knife cuts into soil, making weeding a snap. Get right down to the roots to ensure the weeds do not come back. Features a depth scale that you can see on one side so you know exactly how deep to dig your potatoes - make sure you always plant your bulbs at the correct
You will have a firm grip on the handle, as it is contoured and non-slip, making it easier and safer to use than knives with wood handles. It can be used with either the left or right hand due to its ergonomic shape.
A new durable real leather sheath & belt loop Blade 7 Now with a hard-wearing real leather sheath The dimensions of this item are 5 inches With the handle, the width is 7 inches, and the total length is 12 inches. A 90-day, 100% money back guarantee is included with this product 5 inches
It's amazing how well that thing works! "I have never felt any support for my hand in the garden like this before", "This hori hori is pretty much the only tool I take out into the garden anymore", "This is seriously awesome"

Questions & Answers

Weighing zero is listed as the weight. A serving is three ounces. In my opinion, this is a very low number. Do you know what the weight of the trowel is? I would guess that it is closer to 8 than 9 Approximately 14 oz. ?

I am glad to hear from you, Vira. It's true what you said. There are a few ounces in it.

Do you think this knife can cut through tough roots? Does it have enough sharpness?

Cutting roots up to the thickness of a pencil is easy, and everything else is no problem.

According to the ad, 7,500 people will be employed by the company. The photos on A.'s blog were 5 inches but they were not the same ones. According to Drewes, 6 inches is clearly visible. Where did that come from? Can you tell me what its true length is?

There are marks on the blade indicating ranges up to 6 inches, as shown in the photograph. Despite this, the blade is 7 inches in length from tip to base. Therefore, the full length of the blade from tip to base As stated in the description, the size is 5".

Can you tell me where this tool is ?

I'm pretty sure it's Japan, not China. Thank you. I am happy. It is one of my favourite tools and I would recommend it

Selected User Reviews For Sensei Tools Hori Digging Knife - 7.5 Inches, with Leather Sheath

It's all good
3/5

The best I can do is These hori hori/garden knives have been in my possession for quite a while now. The sound doesn't make as much sense to me as it does to others, but it's not bad. There is something awkward about the handle. I usually prefer quality plastic handles, but this one feels a bit cheap. I assume it isn't a full tang handle. Additionally, I have no idea what the purpose of the groove on the sides is. In my experience, it causes blisters on my hands, gets packed with dort, and I don't understand it at all. I just don't see how it made sense in the first place. This combination is also worthless because the sheath is also trash, but a good sheath would cost almost as much as this one. That is not their fault, so I don't criticize.
Hori hori knives are considered one of the best knives in Japan. Hori hori knives, regardless of quality, are among the best tools that you can own in your garden. There are plenty of examples of one, but this one is not an amazing example. Originally I was going to return it when I saw the quality of the construction, but I decided to give it a chance. The end of the world or anything is not at stake, but I'd suggest searching for another brand. You could replace this awesome soil knife with the am leonard soil knife in the same style if you don't mind the hideous orange handle and the twine hook (which I hate).

A well-designed, beautifully crafted tool that is efficient and effective
5/5

With anyone who helps me in the garden wanting to use my wide range of tools, and my unwillingness to share them, it was time to replace the knife. Luckily, there were several others on offer, and at a lower price. It was perfect for a second string weeder. It was the handles that made the difference, so a search produced very similar looking blades. While I appreciate a well-made tool, a wooden handle can be beautiful too, the more I researched, the clearer it became that none offered the comfort and grip of the Sensei handle, which is vital in a heavy tool that demands a great deal of strength and durability. Bulb holders will also work great with this. An important factor to consider when choosing a tool is its handling. I like how solidly balanced and hefty the Sensei hori knife feels in my hand. I find the program to be a pleasure to use and does many jobs really well.

It is an excellent tool that can do everything after the handle is modified! You need to exercise caution if you are a gentle gardener this is just as dangerous as an
4/5

at least on the serrated side of that 5-inch knife. So, for example, if you're easily distracted, you might follow the advice to stick with a regular spade that has dull edges because the serrated edge is sharp! There are seven in total. A 5 inch blade is long enough to get through stubborn weed roots and narrow enough to stab into hard dirt like a knife. The serrated edge is sharp enough to rip through cardboard, zip ties, small branches, or anything else you might There is no sharpened edge on the flat edge, but it has a thin edge that can be used for scraping without worrying about dulling a knife. This is a sturdy piece of construction and the metal is thick enough to use your foot on it for leverage without it bending or breaking when used for leverage. There are only two sides to the blade tang, according to what I've read. I understand that it is difficult to break the plastic handle after using it, but after using it, I think it will be very difficult to break it. The polished metal makes cleaning very easy. For example, you can swish it around in a bucket of water for a few seconds so that it looks brand new. The only issue is that the handle has deep inset 'channels' on either side of the handle, which makes it awkward to hold. The inset channels also cause blisters on the hand. Because of the handle, I considered returning the product, but I was able to add foam to the channels and end of the handle so I could press down and hold it more comfortably. I then wrapped medical tape around everything for extra comfort. However, if I didn't add enough comfort I would have returned this item. I did consider the full tang versions of the hora hora, but those come with blocky wood handles that seem to be just as uncomfortable as this. 40 dollars on this hora hora, the "Barebones" hora hora with a walnut handle is well made and looks The bottom line If you don't mind modifying the handle, this will become your favorite 'do anything' gardening.

You're getting the real deal with this Hori Hori! The construction is super sturdy
5/5

Handle made of metal is easier to grip than one made of wood. It is absolutely impossible for the handle to give. It is important to have a solid foundation An impressive tool that looks like it will last a lifetime. Only the button clasp on the sheath appears to be weak in this product, It looks like it will pop off at any moment. We have weakened the metal rivet a little but it is not a big deal. When I slide the Hori Hori clasp into the sheath, I don't button it. Despite its solid construction, it does not bend or give at all while it works through hard southern clay. Weeds should have nothing but fear of its power. Dandelion flowers stand out from the rest. In addition, it can be very useful to re-create The process of planting in pots.

Tool that is reliable and good for gardening
5/5

It took me 2 weeks to dig over 100 deep-set stones out of my garden with Sensei Hori Hori knife I used this knife to remove sow thistles (Sonchus asper) from my yard. This was a much easier task than the two I was using before. This is the tool I used last year for dandelion control. This knife is very strong and will never bend when prying up plants with it. The serrated blade edge as well as the smooth knife edge are both very sharp. With its leather construction, the leather case is sturdy, durable, and long-lasting This knife is made of a plastic-like material with a strong snap that keeps it As a result of the handle being black, the knife will disappear if it's left lying in grass or on earth, so I'll spray some bright paint on it to make it more visible.
