Know before you buy
The two-tine design is specifically engineered for precision work in tight spaces, such as between rose bushes. It allows you to aerate the soil and remove weeds without damaging the delicate root systems of your plants.
While the stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, we recommend cleaning and drying the tines after use. Storing the tool in a dry place will help maintain the integrity of both the steel and the ash hardwood handle over time.
With an overall length of 44.5 inches, this fork is designed to provide good leverage for most users. The D-handle allows for a secure, ergonomic grip that minimizes wrist strain during repetitive cultivating or weeding tasks.
The hand-forged stainless steel is exceptionally robust, making it well-suited for penetrating tough or compacted soil. Its narrow profile allows you to break up clods effectively without needing to move large amounts of earth.
Ash wood is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and shock-absorbing properties, which makes it comfortable for extended use. Being FSC-certified ensures that the wood is sourced from forests managed with strict environmental and social standards.
