Welcome Patrick, glad you're here! I gave my wife a Truly Garden Hori Hori knife as a gift many years ago, and it is still one of her favorites and sees use each season. I can say it really is a great knife!

Hori Hori, now That's a knife!
Every gardener needs one, to grub into hard dirt, divide root balls, and impress little kids.
It also makes a great gift for someone who appreciates a practical too of high quality. And Chistmas is coming, if things don't get too crazy in the outside world.
Welcome, Patrick.

Hello and welcome!

I went this summer without a hori hori knife after mine snapped off at the handle last year. I'll have to look into yours at a possible replacement.

Mary-Ellen Zands,
The headlamps are 160 lumens.  
You can buy them on Amazon or on our website:  website

I use them around my property all the time.  They are a wide angle light great for working on what is in front of you - changing a flat, checking on the chickens, walking, etc. (what you need 99% of the time)  They are not a spotlight to see if there is a predator on the far side of the homestead.  For that I have a giant spotlight flashlight just for that purpose.

PS - A bonus to owning my own business is I get to pose in my own photos and can legitimately claim - "I do a little male modelling".  :-)

Jenny, We have 5 year warranty, but honestly we don't check.  As long as it is ours we will replace it.  We just that people take care of the wood handle with a little oil once a year and don't leave it out all winter.

Welcome Patrick and thank you for the opportunity to possibly win one of your Hori Hori knives. I've been shopping around for one to aid in my lawn replacement project in Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA. So far part of the lawn has been replaced with highbush blueberries, horseradish, asparagus, brussels sprouts, cabbage, Kazakh melons, luffa squash, daikon radishes and potatoes grown from seeds not seed potatoes. Along with vegetables I've also incorporated native plants such as Joe Pye Weed, wild bergamot, ostrich fern, and creeping phlox.
