Useful but not sharp
I have just received my Imacasa Hori Hori knife. I'm sure it will become a useful garden tool but my first impression and observation is...it is 'as blunt as old Nick!' Both sides are far from sharp, the blade side has a flat edge so it would be hard to cut yourself, and the serated side is less than sharp, and I think you'd struggle to do any damage to anything with it. However, used as a digging implement it will be useful - well as any other trowel! I am going to try to grind an edge to it and see how I get on, but don't buy this knife thinking you can cut anything with it, because it is super blunt. Slightly disappointed, particularly as an age check had to be carried out to see if I was old enough to be in possession of such a blunt weapon!!!
