- 6" Stainless Steel Blade
- Serrated & Beveled Edges
- One-Piece Molded Composite Grip
- U.S.-Made Leather Sheath
The Classic Soil Knife and Sheath Combo is the belt-ready hand tool that covers most of the “quick jobs” without heading back to the shed. The 6-inch stainless steel blade is beveled to pierce compacted soil and sod, with a tapered slicing edge and milder serrations for root work and light sawing. Its one-piece molded composite handle has a wide guard, giving you a secure grip when you’re pushing into tough clay. We like keeping it in the sheath as a grab-and-go option for weeding rounds and small planting tasks, because it replaces the usual trowel-plus-weeder combo.
In the garden, the soil knife shines in tight spaces where a long-handled tool is clumsy, like between perennials, around edging, or when you’re cleaning out cracks in hardscape. The straight edge handles clean cuts on roots and crowns, while the serrated side helps you work through fibrous clumps without tearing up the bed. When you’re done, the sheath keeps the blade protected and keeps you from setting the knife down in mulch where it disappears fast.

- Rinse and dry after use, especially after working in wet soil, then store in the sheath.
