Now This Is A Hori Hori Knife Worth Every Penny!

I love gardening, as I have mentioned it before. I won't deny that it's work, but to me it is relaxing work. But sometimes I run into a nasty weed or a stubborn plant that just does not want to behave. What then?


Ezy Garden Knife has a Hori Hori Knife that I just love using! It makes short work of  tough jobs! I have tried a hori hori knife before and it worked great, but this one I really, really like!

The basics about this fantastic piece of gardening equipment is simple. It is a knife. It is a trowel. It is measuring guide. It is a multi-purpose tool for all kinds of projects!


The knife is approximately 12 ½" long with the blade being 7" long and made from stainless steel. I love that since I know it won't rust like so many gardening tools can!


The handle is made from a nice heavy wood, but not so heavy that it makes the knife hard to use. The handle fits comfortably in my hand and feels substantial, like it will get the work done for me. I love that the blade goes will into the handle making it more secure and safer than a plastic handle can be.


One side of the blade is a sharp straight edged knife. The other side is a unique serrated blade that can cut through the toughest weed, small branches and tough plant clumps. It was surprised at how well it did cut. I have tried other serrated knives, but none with a blade like this. I was a little skeptical about how well it would cut. It had no trouble at all going through thick weeds with ease. Very little to no sawing movement was required.


The hori hori knife is great for mixing soils or breaking up clumps as you dig. And having a measuring guide is super handy. I love that the numbers are much larger on this knife than I have seen on others. It's much easier to see!


The knife also comes in a leather sheath that can attach to your belt if you would like. I think it is perfect for taking along on a camping trip or hiking. You can carry it on your belt or it is small enough to not take up much space and yet be an effective tool for many jobs.

This is a gardening tool that has a zillion functions around the house or while traveling! I can highly recommend it to you!

The Perfect Tool To Add To Your Garden Supplies

I have been gardening pretty much all my life. As a child my grandmother spent hours teaching me about the plants she was growing in her vegetable garden and about plant that grew in the wild. She knew her plants. She knew what grew in the wild that was safe for us to eat. It was a joy to learn from here and I wish I had listened more intently to what she taught me.

She instilled in me a love for gardening that I later got some serious training in through the Master Gardener program in our state. In fact I went on to be one of the instructors for the Master Gardener program. I love gardening! And I love the tools I use for gardening!


That's why I was excited to try out the Sensei Hori Hori Knife. You may be looking at the picture and wondering what in the world that thing is. Well simply the hori hori knife is a multi-purpose gardening tool. It's a cross between a knife and a trowel.


The blade of the knife is 7½" long and about 2' wide and is stainless steel, which means it will hold up for a long time without rusting. One side of the blade is a smooth sharp edge and the other is a serrated sharp edge. Both edges work very well cutting through plant material and even twigs. They are especially good for getting after deeply rooted, thick tap roots of some weeds. The blades help get deep into the soil and can quickly cut off the root deep below, killing the plant much more quickly. This is the perfect tool for dividing a clump of perennials too. The blade will help cut or saw through tough fibers and root mats making a tough job a lot easier and faster.


I also like that the blade has a measuring guide to help you keep track of how deep a hole is you are working on. It helps to make sure that plants and bulbs are placed properly and at the right depth. The curve of the blade also helps when digging, breaking up the soil better than a straight blade would do.


The hori hori knife comes with a mock-leather sheath that has a belt loop so you can carry the knife to have within easy reach all the time. I do wish that the sheath was real leather though. Leather would hold up much better with the use and abuse this tool will go through over the years. The grip of the knife, although also not leather, is also quite comfortable to hold on to. It has a texture on it that keeps your hand from sliding around and you can keep a good firm grip on the knife.

If you have limited space when camping to take along tools, this would be ideal for that since it can do so many things and would take up little space.

This is a great tool to add to your gardening supplies and I can see it being used more and more over the years!
