Provided with a thick, natural wood handle for a strong grip, and a black, heavy vinyl sheath with leather belt loop. 6 1/2 blade, 11 3/4 overall length

Customer Rating: - The best tool out there
I have so many gardening tools. But the hori hori is the best for digging weeds and cultivating there is. Easy to handle, will last forever. Nice serated edge to chop the stubborn weeds and their roots.I have purchased several as gifts. I highly recommend this to all the gardeners out there who want a great product.

Customer Rating: - New Favorite Gardening Tool
I received my first Hori Hori as a gift and wasn't sure what to do with it. Once I started using it for weeding and digging, I now can't work without it. I misplaced my first one and had to immediately buy another because I was lost in my garden without it. (I painted the handle of the second one to make it easier to locate.) I heard a radio interview with a person from the Cornell University Extension Program, and this tool was her top gardening tool as well. This is now one of my favorite gifts to give.

Customer Rating: - a great tool for general gardening
My new knife was a replacement for one that had been lost... and I was lost without one.
