The one I own has been with me for at least 20 years and I use it every day between March and November This month. Despite its age, it is still going strong, likely carrying on for another 20 years. The size of my garden is about 7000 square feet. He is a workhorse, and that is true of the Nisaku hori hori. This is a perfect solution.
In the past, I have used this equipment a lot for digging old, very compacted sod with dense weeds and have never slipped and fell. As the fight unfolds, I use it to stab/dig away from me, as well as to stab/dig down on the other side of the clump, like slaying a vampire. I also use it to stab and spin around them as I do so It is a matter of - It may - It just zings. With all that being said, I personally believe I wouldn't give the matter another thought since I haven't had it slip so far. In closing, I would caution you to be mindful and careful in activities that involve using your OTHER hand too closely, as this is a wicked sin. In fact, I have come close to killing a clump while jabbing at it with the other hand. I have no doubt it is the best gardening tool I have used.
