It features a sharp stainless steel blade with serrations on one edge and sharp cutting edges on the other. It's versatile, durable, and can handle various precise gardening tasks such as cutting, planting, weeding, and harvesting.

How does the Hori Hori Knife help with cutting tasks in the garden?
