Perennial fork

It is the ideal garden tool for all work in a kneeling position and in narrow, densely planted beds where weeding and loosening must be done carefully around shallow growing roots. In terms of shape, the perennial fork with its primitive forged tines made of manganese-boron steel bridges the gap between a spade and a flower trowel, so it can also be a good help when transplanting perennials or pricking out roots. It is also ideal for loosening the soil or preparing planting holes in already planted beds. In all these activities, the low weight and the design of the tool with the shortened handle and the straight attached functional part allow wrist-friendly work.

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.
