Know before you buy
The Victorian Trowel features a sharpened edge that allows it to slice through roots and dense clay soil, whereas a standard trowel is typically designed only for scooping loose soil.
Yes, the ash wood handle is ergonomically shaped and provides a natural, secure grip that is generally more comfortable and less slippery than plastic or metal alternatives.
Boron steel is exceptionally hard and wear-resistant, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks like digging in rocky or compacted ground without bending or snapping.
To keep it in top condition, wipe the blade clean of soil and moisture after each use. Periodically applying a light coat of oil to the metal and wood can help prevent rust and keep the handle from drying out.
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. It ensures that the tool is built to last a lifetime, reflecting the high quality of its Dutch manufacturing.
