Krumpholz Shrub Spade - 45cm T-Handle - Hand-Forged Tool for Transplanting, Planting & Dividing

Transplanting established perennials, shrubs, or dense root clumps demands a spade with concentrated strength and surgical precision. The Krumpholz Shrub Spade (Perennial Spade) is the ideal specialized tool, engineered by a European family blacksmith with over 220 years of experience. Forged from premium steel and fitted with an extended 45cm Ash Wood T-handle, this compact spade provides maximum leverage for clean root cutting and digging without disturbing surrounding plants.

Best For The committed home gardener who appreciates heirloom-quality, master-forged tools and requires a rigid, short-handled spade for comfortably transplanting, planting, and dividing perennials and small shrubs.

Key Features

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

• Specialized Dividing Blade: The compact, sharp blade is designed to slice cleanly through dense perennial root masses, making the challenging task of dividing and propagating plants effortless and effective.

• Extended 45cm Reach: The longer handle provides superior leverage and reach compared to standard hand tools, allowing you to comfortably dig and transplant from a crouched or kneeling position with greater power and less strain.

• Efficient Transplanting & Planting: The blade size is ideal for digging small, precise planting holes and neatly lifting small shrubs and established perennials with a complete root ball.

• Ergonomic T-Handle: Features a durable Ash Wood T-handle which provides a secure, two-handed grip, essential for applying focused leverage when cutting through tough soil and roots.
