The Fiskars Big Grip Multipurpose Planting Knife is a versatile hand tool built for everyday garden work. Its multi-functional, rust-resistant plated steel head combines three working edges in one: a sharpened blade edge for slicing sod and splitting seedlings, a serrated blade edge for cutting through thicker, tougher growth, and a forked tip for prying out deep roots and weeds. This is the ideal tool for digging planting holes, transplanting starts, opening bags of soil, and dividing perennials in raised beds and in-ground gardens alike.

The handle also includes a convenient hang hole for easy tool storage. Backed by Fiskars' lifetime warranty, this knife is a long-lasting addition to any gardener's toolkit.

What tasks can I use this knife for?
The Fiskars Big Grip Planting Knife is ideal for digging planting holes, transplanting seedlings, splitting perennials, cutting through sod, removing roots, weeding, and even opening bags of soil or amendments.
The three-edge head design — sharpened blade, serrated blade, and forked tip — means you rarely need to swap tools mid-task.
Is the blade rust-resistant?
Yes. The head is made of plated steel specifically to resist rust and provide long-lasting durability through regular outdoor use and moisture exposure.
Rinsing and drying the blade after use will further extend its life.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes — Fiskars backs this knife with a full lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Is this a good tool for raised bed gardening?
Absolutely. The compact size and multi-functional blade make it well-suited to the close-quarters work common in raised beds — transplanting, weeding between rows, and loosening soil around roots.
Pair it with a garden bed drip irrigation kit to keep your raised beds efficiently watered all season.
