Hand shovel

Whether you want to fill the plant pot with soil, spread mulch in the borders or add fertilizer to the raised bed: It is not at all easy to move loose material from one place to another without unintentional spillage. With the sweep of your arm and hand, you're likely to miss far too much when using a planting trowel or your bare hand.

Good tools solve problems - in this case, this thoughtfully designed hand shovel remedies the situation. Equipped with greater volume than the average planting trowel, the strong, forged blade offers, on the one hand, a wide front edge to cleanly pick up soil, sand & co. Most importantly, it has a deep camber so you can lift the picked-up bulk material to its destination without loss. And last but not least, the balanced proportions of the blade and ash wood handle ensure that the hand shovel sits extremely well in the hand.

The Krumpholz family knows a thing or two about forging. Based in the Franconian Forest, their ancestors acquired their first own hammer mill - the Guttenberger Hammer - in 1799 and were already producing tools and other everyday objects from forged iron back then. Today, the company's fortunes are in the hands of the eighth generation. The garden tools that leave the production site, which is still in its old location but has long since been modernized and expanded, are tools of the highest quality: shaped to their intended use under the weight of the forging hammer, compacted and reinforced where necessary, fitted with sharpened edges or blades and equipped with high-quality ash wood handles. Free-form forging, as practiced at Krumpholz, requires special skill and a sense of proportion. The steel used, a Swedish steel with a chrome-molybdenum content, is tough, strong and easy to clean.
