Great feel, weeder, trowel, planter combo.
I'm not sure how I lived without this. This is the ONE tool you need if you are a gardener of any sorts. It makes the soil seem like butter. I love this! The one thing I had to unlearn is to not wipe off the blade on my shirt (something I normally did with trowels and such while gardening) because you'll cut your shirt! But other than a hole in one of my shirts...this thing has been priceless. I highly recommend it to anyone!
This tool now goes everywhere outside with me. Once you use it you will wonder how you ever survived without it. I'm buying one for my market garden daughter!
I enrolled in a Master Gardener course and noticed that a lot of the members that had been in the Master Gardener group for a while had this tool. They all swore that it was the best tool they ever had. I purchased one for myself and this tool lives up to their praise. My husband used it once and then it disappeared into his tool cache, so I had to buy another one for me. We have very heavy clay soil and this tool doesn't bend or break when digging into the hard soil like other trowels and digging tools. It is also great for cutting through small roots.
I bought this when I thought I had lost my original one, which was a Classic. This one, however, is so sharp that it is not too hard to cut yourself when digging out weeds and sticking your hand in near the knife. Also, mine has gotten corroded. I don't know if that is considered rust and, therefore, not covered under the lifetime warranty, but I don't think stainless steel should rust or corrode. I would highly recommend the classic knife, which thankfully I found and continue to use heavily. It has its original matte finish unblemished, and the serrations will not cut you.
