5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, August 16, 2000

This review is from: Japanese Hori Hori Garden Landscaping Digging Tool With Carbon Steel Blade & Sheath (Lawn & Patio)

If I could have only one tool, this would be it. Dig, plant, divide, weed... it's a knife for all seasons. A thick, rugged blade digs through even tough clay and stones. A serrated edge saws through wicked roots. A narrow point makes neat work of nasty vines in walkway cracks. They'll have to pry my Hori-Hori knife from my cold, dead fingers some day! Just the greatest export from Japan since sushi.

It has been three years and this is still my favorite garden tool.

When I saw the name I had to have this tool. Little did I know it would be the only one I would reach for when I gardened. I set out to plant 200 bulbs last weekend and ended up tossing my bulb planter and using this wonderful tool. It cut through roots, clay and uprooted rocks. I can hardly wait for Spring. Bonzai!

Digs any kind of holes in any kind of soil easily. Best dandelion digger in the world. I've lost two and replaced them as soon as I finished searching. Paint the handle red!
