## Description

The Root Slayer soil knife with holster is one of the oldest and most essential gardening tools of all time. It is patterned from the Japanese hori hori soil knife, but with some modern upgrades. This is a multi-purpose hand tool that is useful for digging, gardening, and metal detecting. The Root Slayer soil knife with holster is so versatile, that it can be a substitute for a trowel, transplanter, cultivator, and weeder in the outdoors.

Review: Best brand of shovel - I have the full sized shovel that is like a spade and love it. So when I saw this hand trowel I knew I had to get it. The root slayer big or small is the best tools ever. I love how it is well balanced, sharp and cuts the roots of plants(weeds) easily. Less stress on your arms and cuts work time. Productive!
Review: Awesome sheath, even better blade! - I wish I had taken some pictures of this thing in action. I use it for metal detecting and it's awesome! When it says root slayer, they ain't lyin. It took a few tries to get the motion right but I hacked through a root at least as thick as my wrist in a few minutes. Smaller roots snap easily. It's curved to help dig and is surprisingly strong for prying. The sheath has no way to let dirt escape is my only complaint. But it's heavy duty fire hose like material. Definitely a keeper
