Know before you buy
The blade is only 2 inches wide, allowing you to maneuver between crowded plants or into narrow containers without disturbing the surrounding soil or roots.
The blade is mirror-polished stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust. However, for the best longevity, we recommend wiping the tool clean and dry after each use.
The handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort and secured with a solid brass ferrule, which provides a strong, durable connection to the blade. It is designed for precision tasks like planting and weeding rather than heavy-duty prying in compacted, rocky ground.
Yes, the FSC® certification ensures that the beech wood used for the handle is sourced from forests that are managed responsibly and sustainably.
The ten-year guarantee covers any manufacturing defects in the materials or workmanship of the trowel, providing assurance that the tool is built to last.
