Weeding Knife or Hori-Hori Someone using heavy equipment could bend this digging tool, but no amount of prying in the garden will. Thick concave steel blade with bevelled edges tapering to a point, one semi-sharp smooth edge and one serrated edge. The blade extends 2-1/2" into the wooden handle to which it is securely riveted. Susan and David’s favorite handtool, still in good condition after 15 years of hard use. Originally designed to extricate plants for bonsai from Japan’s mountains, this is the perfect tool for prying out taprooted weeds and knocking soil from sods and weed clumps. Good for use as a narrow trowel, for general cultivating and sawing small roots or heavy stems, though not as sharp as a knife or a saw. Comes with a black vinyl sheath with a belt loop. 6-1/2" blade, 11-1/4" long overall. |
