Fiskars Hori Hori Garden Knife with Sheath, Multi-Purpose Heavy Duty Gardening Hand Tool for Weeding, Planting, Digging with Hanging Hole

This is a great all-around gardening knife—versatile, durable, and designed to handle a variety of tasks. Whether you're cutting, chopping, or sawing through plant stems, this knife gets the job done efficiently. It feels solid in hand and comes with a protective sheath for safe storage and easy carrying around the garden. One thing I always consider when buying tools is the warranty—and Fiskars doesn't disappoint. They offer what I like to call a “buy once, cry once” warranty, meaning a Full Lifetime Warranty that backs their products for the long haul. That kind of guarantee shows real confidence in their craftsmanship. If you're in the market for a reliable gardening knife, I’d definitely recommend this one. It’s a tool that works hard and is built to last.

It's all the features I wanted in a hori hori, plus an extra one I didn't know I wanted; the forked tip is handy for prying sturdy roots loose, and is durable enough that I'm not concerned it will weaken the tip. I was looking at similarly priced traditional ones, but they all had reviews stating that the blade would break in half at the handle when used for digging. Sturdy traditional hori hori can cost over $100, so I decided I'd give this Fiskars version a try since I've always been happy with their other lawncare tools and utility scissors. The stainless steel blade is permanently moulded into the plastic handle, and by using a magnet it seems that the tang extends just past 3/4 of the way down (stops at the orange part). The included sheath holds the tool securely and the clip is wide enough to grab onto large utility belts. It's quite stiff, so you'll need to wear it on a spot that's out of the way of your legs when walking. There are drainage holes at the bottom, so it's quite easy to hose clean (though I ways wipe the blade clean on my pant leg before sheathing). I've never had any Fiskars plastic become brittle or crack, even when carelessly left outside for years, so I expect this sheath will be no different. I've so far used it for digging planting holes, aerating the soil around a root base, digging up weeds, cutting dried up flower stalks, and removing sod that had encroached into a planter bed. It performed to my expectations in all tasks. I'm very happy with the build quality and don't anticipate it will sustain damage anytime soon, but if it ever does Fiskars has a very generous warranty. It's a bit goofy looking, and not everyone likes the orange/black Fiskars colors (though I appreciate the high contrast / visibility when I absent-mindedly set it down on the green or brown ground) but this is most likely the best value hori hori you can buy.

I forgot I ordered this and picked one up from a big box store for $12. When this arrived it was a no brainer to return the other one and keep this one. I immediately ran out and dug up a few weeds. Its nice and sharp and slid right into my hard ground, just like you want a knife to do in your kitchen. The other one was thicker, less sharp and did not slide into the ground as easy. I also used the knife portion to cut off part of my sweet potato vine that is in my planter. That stuff grows so well even in the brutal Texas heat, that it tries to take over the pot. I was glad I would just cut off what I dont want. Have some dusty miller that has done the same thing. I cut portons of it off when it takes over. I dont like dragging scissors or box knives out to the flower box, seems I get busy and lay it down, and when I need my house scissors or knife, I dont know where it is. Of course thats my brain issue, but I love having a dedicated tool. The sheath is such a nice extra bonus !! If you want to call it a bonus, its really more of a necessity. With this sheath on I can tuck it under my arm or clip it onto my jeans and move about doing the other things I need to, and not lose it. The other one from the big box store just had a think plastic sheath that is not really a sheath as much as it was part of the packaging.

I needed something lightweight for troublesome weeds and just general utility. Fiskars has always shined in that dept. Maybe not the most heavy duty tools, but they get the job done without spending a ton of $$$. This little guy is great; Lightweight, but enough heft for light chopping. The factory edge was... Meh., but gets crazy sharp after a few minutes on diamond and ceramic stones. I've been using it around the house and business taking care of weeds mostly. It'll dispatch very small branches, and the serrations help with sawing through things. The sheath? Yeah, it's crap. But it's a $17 knife, the sheath is probably going to be an afterthought. I might try and find a leather sheath that will fit. Handle is comfortable and the rubber grip works well with or without gloves. Overall, great little all-around blade for gardeners, landscapers, and I'm sure it would make a great camp knife. Most of the machete functionality, without the machete weight.

I shopped around for this style tool. I’m happy to find a decent hori hori that fits the hand, requires little care, comes with a useful case and seems strong. I wish fiskars had more European production going on, but their designs are generally good. I really wanted to start using a hori hori and I’m pretty happy to have selected this one. Handle fits well in the hand, blade is sturdy and sharp (use gloves!), case is solid with a good belt clip (not easy to sit). It works well in the soil for weed control, makes holes for plantings, cuts through mulch bags. The forked tip could be a problem. I chipped one point early on in use. Maybe it would be better if they were rounded off - or came to a point. (I liked the look of the Corona and would like to try it as well, but something about the composite holster on the fiskars version made me try this one first.) I’d recommend with some reservations.

Weeding, planting ect.

an awesome knife for the garden - very happy with the purchase.

Best garden tool I have, it's so versatile and is my go to in the garden.

Pela Fiskars, estava esperando algo bem mais robusto. Tem construção bem leve, achei pequeno. Não imaginava que o próprio corpo seria plástico, ao invés do mais comum de uma armação metálica revestida em plástico. Não tem clip nem nada para amarrar, então necessário redobrar o cuidado. Ajustei minha expectativa para não esperar demais da capacidade desta faca. A Tramontina de poda que tenho, super antiga, dá banho nesta.

very good gardening knife, comes sharp and it very well made, very solid and works great
