Know before you buy
The narrow, double-sharpened blade is specifically designed to slice through soil and reach deep into the root zones of stubborn tap-rooted weeds. Its V-shaped profile provides extra leverage and strength, allowing you to pry out weeds that wider trowels would simply bend or break on.
Yes. The stainless steel blade is reinforced with a V-shaped center, making it exceptionally rigid and resistant to bending. It is engineered to handle challenging soil conditions, including clay, limestone, and rocky ground, without compromising the tool's integrity.
The 80 cm (31.5 inch) length is specifically optimized for raised beds. It provides enough reach to work comfortably from the edge of the bed without needing to lean over or strain your back, while still being compact enough for precision planting.
To keep the ash wood handle in good condition, wipe it clean after use and occasionally apply a light coat of linseed oil to prevent drying. The stainless steel blade is rust-resistant, but you should wipe off excess soil and moisture after each use to keep the sharpened edges in top shape.
Absolutely. The narrow 5 cm blade width is ideal for creating precise, deep holes for seedlings. Its shape minimizes soil disturbance around neighboring plants, making it a highly effective tool for transplanting in crowded garden beds.
