Know before you buy
While specifically designed for the maneuverability required in raised beds, its compact 4cm blade is excellent for any tight space or crowded border where precision is needed to avoid damaging nearby plants.
The hand-forged stainless steel is exceptionally durable and designed to pierce topsoil efficiently. However, it is a precision tool intended for weeding and thinning, so it is best used in cultivated soil rather than breaking through hard, rocky ground.
The handle is 60 cm (approximately 24 inches) long, making it a short-handled tool. It is designed for use while kneeling or sitting beside your raised bed rather than for standing upright.
Yes, the sharp, narrow blade is also highly effective for thinning out seedlings and creating small, precise furrows for sowing seeds in tight rows.
Because the blade is high-quality stainless steel, you can maintain its edge with a fine-grit sharpening stone or file as needed. Always clean the blade of soil and moisture after use to keep it in top condition.
