- Leather Sheath
- Dual-Edge Blade With Serrations, Depth Markings, & Twine-Cut Notch
- Bright Orange Composite Handle
The Deluxe Soil Knife And Sheath Kit is the “carry one tool, do ten jobs” setup that earns its place on a belt loop. The 6-inch Swedish stainless-steel blade is made in Italy and paired with a U.S.-made leather sheath, so it stores safely and stays close without cluttering your hands. The knife is light enough to wear all day (7.8 oz), but it’s built for root work, plug planting, and quick field fixes. The inch markings stamped on the blade help with fast depth checks. We use this style of knife constantly when we’re weeding around young plants, because the tip can get precise without tearing up what you’re trying to keep.
In beds, borders, and restoration plantings, the serrated side bites through fibrous roots and tough crowns. The straight edge is great for cleaning up cuts when you’re dividing smaller perennials or trimming back a grass clump. You can use the twine notch when you’re staking or tying, so you don't have to dig around for another cutter. Since the sheath clips to a belt or waistband, you can move between planting, weeding, and light edging without setting the knife down and losing it in the mulch.

Product Tips
- Keep the blade in the sheath when walking or kneeling, and pull it out slowly since the edge is very sharp.
- Use the stamped inch markings to set consistent bulb and plug depths across a bed.
- For stubborn weeds, slide the tip alongside the root, then lever gently instead of yanking.
- Rinse and wipe the blade after wet soil work, then let it dry before sheathing.
- A light coat of oil on the blade helps if you store tools in a humid shed.
