Description
A good gardening tool can make any task a joy. Take the Master Shin’s Anvil Weeding Hoe, for example. Made with a convex blade and a rounded handle, this weeding hoe is efficient, easy to use, and comfortable to hold. The blade has a special convex shape that keeps soil from sticking, while the handle’s angle reduces wrist and hand fatigue. Versatile and practical, this handmade gardening tool is perfect for everything from weeding to digging, planting, and relocating plants. The tool is skillfully crafted by hand in the historic Master Shin’s Anvil workshop, opened in 1845.

This weeding hoe also comes in a small version.
