Countryman Border Spade

Countryman Border Spade

The countryman border spade is the perfect choice when space is tight, typically between established plants in a garden border or vegetable patch. The small heads of these tools make them ideal for working in flower beds and for planting smaller shrubs or for someone who finds larger tools difficult to use because of the weight.

The head is manufactured from heat treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. Powder coated finish provides improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalines in the soil.

Fitted with a double riveted, European ash handle supplied from sustainable resources. These are then lacquered for protection against the weather and fitted with an ergonomic soft grip. The angled hilts have been designed so that the hand remains in a natural position. This helps to reduce strain on the hand and wrist and sets the blade at the ideal digging angle to reduce back strain.
