This tool is a great tool for gardening. The week I got my Tori Tori, I put it through the ringer. Partly on purpose, but mostly because of a project I should have finished months ago, but dreaded doing. First Task: The house I bought had a Cyprus tree in a bad spot that needed to be taken down. I did that right off the bat, but left the stump because it was in a tight spot and I knew it was going to be a pain because I couldn't used a stump grinder. The stump had so many roots it was maddening to even dig around to even access the stump. Enter Tori Tori (Once I remembered I had just received it the day before) the shape and sturdiness made digging pretty easy and surprisingly quick, but my chore turned into a game almost when I got to the hundreds of roots I needed to clear so I could use my sawzall on the main stump without killing my saw... Anyway, I found that the sawing side of my Tori Tori will not only saw, but chop like a champ. I couldn't believe it. If you know anything about Cyprus, it is a very hard wood. I was almost in awe. No nicks or scratches.
2nd Task: I had some Dead Shiso plants I wanted to cut to the ground, but leave the roots to compost. I could have used my shears, but hey, Tori Tori is there and I would have to go get the Shears. In no time I cut right through the 1/4 inch stalks and even cut a couple apple branches that needed to go.
3rd Task and maybe my favorite. I needed to take care of a bad decision I made when I put dirt and compost in my gardening area over the top of old larger chunked mulch thinking it would compost quickly enough. I was wrong and I wanted to fix the issue before adding in this years compost and early plantings. There was a small section of the garden that is much more shaded than the other parts and thanks to recent snow and rain, the first 3 inches of ground was frozen solid. My Sturdy Manure Fork, My Fiskars hand Trident and My Shovel were useless. Enter Tori Tori and the resistance was crushed with ease. How does a small tool crush the competition like that. The tool didn't even struggle.
I LOVE this tool. I do recommend wearing gloves, as it could do a lot of damage to your flesh if you slipped, but I'm glad it is sturdy and sharp.
I highly recommend this product. I'm sure if you did something stupid like put it in concrete hard dirt up to the handle and bent it back with all your might, you might bend it or break it, but you'd have to really be trying to break this thing. I can't imagine much more harsh treatment than what I did to mine and it didn't seem to even notice.
Update 5/6/2022: 3 years later and I still love this tool. I still have the original tool but now I have two. One for me and one for my wife. It was getting hard to share. So, I still highly recommend this tool. The new one is still made super sturdy and still at a reasonable price.
Only possible negative if you are used to cheaply made tools, is this tool is sharp. Remember, it's several tools in one. Knife, saw, shovel, measuring tool and in my case, I even use the saw side like an axe. You can't understand how much I love this tool for various garden tasks.

The only garden tool you need
After researching and seeing the HoriHori knife in many best garden tool list articles and videos, I decided to buy one and OMG! this should’ve been my first garden tool purchase. I’ve used this to do some planting in pots, clean up some weeds in the front flower bed and do some plant transplanting in the yard and not once I needed my hand shovels! This was sharp enough to cut and made digging a breeze. Highly recommend and make this be your first garden tool purchase.

Great value...it works well ...labour intensive
So to start off I am in no way an expert gardener. I Live in Canada so we have no effective weed sprays anymore(Weed man is useless) .After breaking multiple weed pullers over the years and watching them break after 2 years and maybe a dozen actual uses I decided to give this knife-trowel a try... gave it 5 stars because it’s great value for money...MachbusGreat value...it works well ...labour intensive

The good....good stainless steel reasonable strength...good quality.. As far as pulling/digging weeds it works well as it gets almost all of the roots so weeds don’t return (see pictures) with my other weeders roots were generally half that length when pulled.
The bad....ground needs to be moist otherwise it’s to difficult. It’s a lot of work even when moist...but it does a better job Than other weeders.
Helpful hits...weed after a good rain...use leather gloves...use knee pads...jam blade in straight all the way around the weed (not at an angle) can be done in 2-4 jabs...if you cut the root spend an extra couple of seconds to find second half( see picture) I just go after the large weeds as There is a good chance the small ones will get chocked out by grass
Hope this helps 👍
