Product review: Oakridge Garden Tools Hori Hori Gardening Knife and Hand Weeder


This tool marries a garden trowel and a knife. It looks like narrow trowel with a serrated edge on one side and a sharp blade on the other side. This design makes this tool very versatile - I can dig, I can cut, I can saw. I use it for planting, weeding, moving small amounts of dirt, cutting roots. It also works very well for splitting perennials. This tools is a real workhorse.

The blade is 6.75" long, overall length of the knife is 12 inches. The blade has marking in inches and millimeters, so if you are using it to plant you can tell how deep you digging. The blade is made out of stainless steel and is pretty thick. It does not bend. It comes with a heavy duty nylon sheath with a belt loop and a hole for hanging.

The handle is made out wood. It is not ergonomically shaped and could be more comfortable.  I typically wear a glove when using the knife for a long time.  Note that this tool is totally symmetric so it will work well whether you are a right handed or a left handed, or just like to switch hands to give the other side some rest.
