So I have to help my mom redo all of our gardens and that includes straight up removing huge swathes of plants we didn't plant/don't want anymore. This garden knife has saved my sanity so many times over the past few weeks, I could not recommend it higher. It's incredibly handy, easy to use even with small hands, and very sharp - it makes digging around thick roots a breeze. 100/10 would say every gardener needs one (or 12) of these.
