Key Features

• Master Hand-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a family-run European blacksmithing company since 1799, this tool is forged from premium steel for maximum toughness, balance, and guaranteed lifelong durability.

• Dual-Action Head Design: The rigid tines are used to crush and loosen soil clumps (cultivating), while the blade can be turned over to smooth the surface, giving you two essential soil preparation functions in one tool.

• Efficient Soil Crushing: The strong, wide tines and heavy head provide the necessary power to aggressively crumble compacted soil and break up clods, resulting in a fine, uniform tilth ideal for delicate seeds.

• Superior 140cm Leverage: The robust, extra-long Ash Wood handle offers excellent control and reach, maximizing leverage and allowing you to efficiently work large areas while standing comfortably upright, minimizing back strain.

• Optimal 13-Tyne Coverage: The ideal number of tines allows for powerful ground breaking without getting overly clogged with debris, ensuring fast, continuous soil preparation.
