Sturdy, sharp easy to grip and use. It's a field utility knife for your garden. Comes with a nice sheath and a handy sharpening steel.
RECOMMENDED!
This is an amazing tool for the money. It's very sturdy. Be aware of a few things before you buy:
1) The blade is crooked, angled from the handle. This shouldn't affect function in any way but annoys my OCD sensibilities. It sprang back to its original position when bent just past 30° so I guess I'll just have to get used to it. (This still bugs me 5 years later!)
2) The sheath is not what I'd call leather. If it is technically leather then it's the leather equivalent of particle board. That said, the sheath is well made (It's held up beautifully for 5 years of backpacking and camping trips).
3) The stitching on the throat of the sheath is subject to abrasion by the edge of the shovel if sheathed concave side out. It appears that if the top stitching frays then the functional side stitching will also unravel due to a lack of glue, rivets, or bar tacking. (This has been a complete non-issue with the most minimal care as to which way I resheath the knife)
4) My example has a very small gap between the handle scales and tang at the rear of the handle. (This was just missing splinters of handle material. The gap was gone after I reshaped the handle for comfort)
5) The point on my sample wasn't a point but a rather blunt wedge formed by the intersecting bevels on the convex side of the knife that was dulled by the final finish operation after sharpening. I filed the wedge into a serviceable point. (No further issues after 5 years)
6) Filing revealed the steel to be quite hard so I was concerned with brittleness. I tested for flexibility by propping up the middle of the knife with a hardwood dowel on top of a 2x4 to protect the edge and stood on both ends of the knife while wearing heavy boots, jeans, and athletic protector. This knife easily survived bending just past 30° in both directions which may mean it would pass the British proof test. It remains in perfectly serviceable condition. (And it's still in great condition 5 years hence. This tool holds a better edge than a shovel has any right to. One must have realistic expectations)
7) The lanyard hole was countersunk on both sides apparently to take a flared brass liner but none was present. The interior of the hole is rough and splintery. I fear this will quickly abrade my nylon hand lanyard. A leather strip would be more appropriate. (This is another non-issue. I'm still using the same 550 cord lanyard I installed 5 years ago)
5 year update:
I reprofiled the handle for greater comfort. This involved considerable rounding of the rear of the handle as well as smoothing and rounding the corners throughout. The handle is now much more oval than rectangular. This made the biggest difference. I should've done it much sooner.
In addition to gardening, I use this while backpacking and camping. I had formerly carried a large knife or small machete for processing sticks into usable fuel for my small wood stove. This does that job just as well and also serves to dig cat holes. The serrated edge is good at making tiny chips when scraped drown sticks. These chips are great for starting a fire in my wood stove. This shovel is a surprisingly good chopper when held near the end of the handle while using a hand lanyard for retention. A snap of the wrist at the end of the chopping stroke powers through sticks bigger than I have any business chopping up for my stove.

I was very excited to get my Hori Hori knife and did a lot of research before I selected this one. It generally worked well tho it wasn’t very sharp on arrival. The sheath seems sturdy and it is great that it comes with a sharpener that does the serrated side too. However, after less than 2 months of use the wood part of the handle is bowing away from the tang (even with the 3 rivets) and the wood has cracked. I will be contacting the seller and sending it back. I don’t know if I will accept a replacement or just a refund.

It was a charm , until a dandelion was a bit to strong for it. It broke in two pieces , sharp.
My heart broke !

As far as usefulness goes, this knife does it all. It is so great that my superior has actually decided to pick one up after seeing how often I use it and how many different uses it has. The serrated edge is great for removing shallow, fibrous-rooted weeds, just "saw" them out, you can clear an entire bed with a bad Purslane infestation in no-time. The knife is also great for removing deep taprooted weeds, shove it into the soil on a good angle and you can cut roots that go up to 6" deep.
When planting annuals this knife is great, its sharp blades help it bury into the most dense clay, with just a small wiggle you have a perfect sized hole for your annuals. I was able to plant ~250 Pansies in about 10 minutes with this tool. A standard-trowel is no match. Bulbs are made simple with the marked measurements along blade. Perennials are possible but I generally still go to my spade, it takes a little too much time digging larger holes with this tool. This garden knife also does a great job at splitting masses/clumps for propagation.
If you spend a lot of time in gardens I can not recommend this product enough. It will save you a ton of time, looks great, and is very high quality. You will be getting compliments and questions whenever another plant-enthusiast spots it. I would recommend this to anybody in the field. Now that I have one I don't know what I would do without it.
It also comes with a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY and when I registered at the Truly Garden website I read this info about the knife, which makes it even MORE amazing than I even knew because it isn't in the Amazon Canada description!
7" blade; 12" long made with 420 stainless steel; Full tang (metal goes through entire handle) for extra strength with 3 rivets
Genuine leather sheath with rust proof brass snap and rivets
5 Year Warranty
BONUS - Free sharpening stone included
FSC certified hardwood handle and eco-friendly packaging
This by far exceeds all my expectations and is the best tool for most of my gardening/planting tasks and it is AWESOME to take into the bush for wild harvesting of roots and plants. It will also be perfect for when I go camping, for a LOT of different tasks.
It is really high quality, beautifully crafted and even beautifully packaged so...I am going to buy some for gifts. Folks are going to think I spent a lot more than I did. I am kind of amazed at this price. Ok, off to buy another one!
