There are a lot of cheap tools out there that can break , rust and crack.

• Knife Edge – a sharpened edge for cutting and pruning.
• Serrated Edge – all Hori Hori’s should have a serrated edge for sawing through branches and roots.
• Concave Blade – to provide digging/scooping ability, the blade should be wide and concave.
• Measurement Marks – for planting depth reference when planting with your Hori
• Hole in Handle – This whole comes in hand when marking planting lines with string.
• Stainless Steel Blade – Nothing is worse than a rusting tool
