Know before you buy
Designed by Sophie Conran, this fork balances aesthetic appeal with high-performance utility. It features sharpened tines for easier soil penetration and a brass ferrule that reinforces the connection between the stainless steel head and the handle for increased durability.
Yes, the handle is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The waxed FSC beechwood provides a smooth, natural grip that reduces strain during repetitive tasks like weeding or turning soil.
The stainless steel head is highly rust-resistant, making it well-suited for working in moist garden beds. To ensure the longest lifespan, we recommend wiping the tines clean and drying them after use.
The handle is crafted from waxed FSC beechwood, which is naturally durable. You can keep it in top condition by occasionally wiping it down with a damp cloth and applying a light coat of wood oil or wax if the finish begins to look dry.
This hand fork is best suited for light-to-medium tasks such as weeding, aerating soil, and planting in established beds. While it is robust, it is designed for precision hand-work rather than heavy-duty digging in hard, compacted ground.
