I didn't buy my hori hori garden knife from here, but it is definitely my most used garden tool. Weeding, planting, harvesting, cutting twine if I forgot my scissors, flipping bugs to my chickens, ...

Mine also has measurement markings on it, making it even more useful. Maybe they could consider that as an improvement?

Oooh that one is sweet! I have a pretty ok Hori-Hori. I looked all around when I ordered it, and ended up with one that didn't fully satisfy me. Hopefully it breaks and I can get a new one!

I have one from lehmans, and I have to say it has not been the most used tool so far... I might need to sharpen it, but it doesn’t seem much more useful than a planting trowel. Not sure what the saw blade is good for, and that would be hard to sharpen...

Hi Jubilee,

Thanks for the link.  I am 60 miles west of Evansville.

I use mine on roots, twine, hard baked clay, ... I don't know about sharpening - I've had it 5+ years, and it hasn't needed it yet.

It is my favorite garden tool. A garden trowel is useless on our rocky soil. After the last of our trowels broke, it's all we use.
