Know before you buy
The narrow, tapered blade is specifically engineered for precision work. It allows you to dig small holes for planting or transplanting without disturbing the root systems of neighboring plants.
Both wood types are FSC-certified and offer excellent durability and comfort. The choice between Ash and Cherry is primarily aesthetic, as both provide a sturdy, ergonomic grip that holds up well to regular garden use.
The hand-forged stainless steel is naturally rust-resistant, making it ideal for working in damp soil. To maintain the blade's condition, simply wipe it clean and dry it after each use.
While the trowel is exceptionally durable and hand-forged, it is designed for precision planting and transplanting in flower beds. It is best suited for soil cultivation rather than prying through heavy rocks or compacted clay.
The trowel weighs approximately 9 ounces, which provides a balanced, substantial feel without being cumbersome. The ergonomic handle is shaped to reduce hand strain, making it comfortable for extended periods of gardening.
