Product description
What you get: one 13.3-inch hori hori transplanter/hori hori knife designed for digging, planting, weeding and root cutting.
Blade construction: The blade is made from heat-treated, tempered chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. That lightweight alloy resists deformation and corrosion, keeping the blade stiff under heavy use. The edge is ground to a fine bevel for clean slicing, while a serrated section helps saw through fibrous roots and materials.
Design features: The blade tapers to a narrow, pointed tip to slip into tight cracks and loosen compacted soil. Depth markings along the blade are printed in both inches and centimeters to guide accurate planting of bulbs, seedlings and cuttings. The serrated edge doubles as a small utility saw for cutting twine, root masses, or opening soil bags.
Handle and storage: The handle is crafted from selected beechwood for a comfortable, natural grip and long service life. Its ergonomic profile reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. A hole through the wooden handle lets you hang the tool on a pegboard or hook for compact storage.
How to use: Use the sharp point and narrow blade to dig precise holes; the beveled edge can slice roots or lift small plants; flip the tool to use the serrations for sawing tasks. Depth markings help you set bulbs and seeds at the correct depth for healthier growth.

Handy for repairs and root work
I used it on a job before a kiddo borrowed it. Cuts through roots cleanly and is easy to operate. I mostly used it for sprinkler repair access.

A surprisingly useful garden companion
My partner saw this while I was looking through tools and suggested I try it. I picked one up and finally used it today. The tool feels solid but not heavy, the handle sits nicely in the hand, and it made planting small bulbs and removing weeds much quicker. The narrow tip and sharp edge really make a difference.
