Just received the two Hori Hori knives I ordered from Duluth Trading. Both handles have splinters sticking out. Small but enough that you feel it when holding each knife. The tang is thinner than the width of the wood handle. In other words, it's not flush with the outer edge of the handle and as the wood has a sharp edge you'd better wear gardening gloves that are on the thicker side ... at least until the sharp wood edges get worn down a bit. The tang extends half way down the handle. Where metal mets wood, there's a gap. In fact on one of the knives you can see clear through from one side of the knife to the other.

It’s Just The Better Way to Dig In
The Hori Hori (Literal Japanese translation "dig dig") is a handy, versatile tool that does the work of several tools currently clunking around in the bottom of your garden bag. The pointed blade and curved shape work like a garden spade while the serrated edge works as a garden knife to cut plantings apart. Also perfect for weeding, transplanting and cutting open fertilizer bags. Durable 6-3/4" stainless steel blade is marked in inches for setting planting depth or spacing. Comfortable, durable hardwood handle. Synthetic sheath included.

I had been looking for a Hori hori knife. I found one in a gardening supply company, but reviews were poor. I was happy to see great reviews for this one, and so far it is living up to them. It has a comfortable grip, and the blade has heft! I'm not worried about bending or breaking, and I'm sure I'll be reaching for this tool often.
Super sharp & very handy! Fits nicely in the tool pocket of the heirloom gardening apparel and the double flex relaxed leg pants! I like the wooden handle, my husband has a similar knife with a plastic handle but I like mine better. It is perfect for many gardening tasks!
Works great and feels good in the hand.
Very good quality. Holds its sharp edge.
