Burgon & Ball - Long-Handled Razor Hoe – High-Performance Japanese Steel Stand-Up Weeder

Burgon & Ball Long-Handled Razor Hoe – High-Performance Japanese Steel Stand-Up Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Long-Handled Razor Hoe brings the incredible efficiency of the "cult-favorite" hand hoe to a full-length format. Designed for gardeners who prefer to work from a standing position, this tool eliminates the need for kneeling while providing the same aggressive weeding and cultivating power. Forged from high-carbon, laminated Japanese steel, the head is engineered to be drawn toward the body, effortlessly slicing through weed roots and breaking up compacted soil with a single, fluid motion.

Best For: Gardeners looking to clear large areas of weeds or cultivate long vegetable rows while standing, significantly reducing back and knee strain.

Key Features

• Full-Length 165cm Reach: The extra-long handle allows for a comfortable, upright posture, making it ideal for managing large allotments, expansive borders, or long garden beds.
• Laminated Japanese Steel: The head is hot-marked and forged from premium Japanese steel, offering superior edge retention and the structural strength to handle heavy soil without bending.
• Effortless Pull-Action: By drawing the razor-sharp blade toward you, you can clear large patches of weeds and aerate the soil much faster than with a traditional "push" style hoe.
• Sharp Angled Blade: The specialized angle of the head ensures the blade bites into the ground immediately, allowing it to glide through the soil surface to sever weed roots at the crown.
• Sustainably Sourced Handle: Constructed with a sturdy FSC® hardwood handle, providing the durability needed for heavy-duty cultivation while remaining well-balanced for ease of use.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
