Key Features

• Master Fire-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a traditional European blacksmithing company since 1799, this tool is fire-forged from high-quality alloyed steel for maximum toughness, ensuring a secure and balanced sink into the earth every time.

• Superior 130cm Leverage: The robust, extra-long Ash Wood handle offers excellent control and two-handed grip, maximizing leverage for driving the fork deep into the soil and protecting your back from strain.

• Durable Bayonet Tines: The strong, resilient tines are designed to easily pierce and slice through tough, compacted soil and root masses, making it far more efficient than a spade for turning over heavy clay and rocky ground.

• Solid Footing for Power: The integrated shoulder (Assumed) provides a solid footing point, allowing you to safely use your body weight to push the tines into dense soil, guaranteeing deep penetration with less manual effort.

• Sustainably Sourced Materials: Developed from sustainable Ash wood and premium German production, this tool is built to combine superior quality with environmental responsibility.
