Deluxe Stainless Steel Soil Knife

• 6" Stainless Steel Blade 
• Extended Dual-Cut Serrations 
• Etched Depth Markings 
• Lifetime Warranty

The Leonard Deluxe Stainless Steel Soil Knife is the hand tool you grab when you’re tired of switching between a trowel, a weeder, and a cutter. Its 6-inch stainless blade takes on planting, weeding, and dividing with a straight slicing edge for clean cuts and an extended dual-cut serrated side that bites through fibrous roots and crowns. Depth markings etched right on the blade make repeat planting faster, and the twine notch is handy when you’re tying in plants or cutting tags as you work. Every gardener needs one dependable knife like this for beds, containers, and quick landscape touch-ups.

The handle is built for control in real soil, not just potting mix. The one-piece molded composite grip has a rounded feel with a thumb rest, and the wide guard helps keep your hand from sliding forward when you’re pushing into compacted ground. The blade is engineered to withstand over 300 pounds of pressure for jobs that would wreck lighter tools. Use the larger hang hole to store  the knife neatly on a peg rack.

Product Tips

• Use the serrated edge for root cutting and division, and the straight edge for clean slicing cuts.
• Match bulb and plug depth to the etched markings for more uniform planting.
• For stubborn weeds, slide the tip alongside the root, then lever gently instead of yanking.
• Rinse and dry after use; stainless resists rust, but clean edges stay sharper longer.
• Store it on a peg using the hang hole, or add the sheath if you want it on your belt.
