These hoes are superior to the standard tongue and ferrule tools most often sold by the big discount stores. The head is forged from one piece of steel with careful attention to detail and function. Each hoe comes with a strong hickory handle that will last for years. The heads are imported from Tramontina of Brazil. The handles are made of Tennessee hickory. Designed as a cutter and Chopper for the serious gardener. Will hold a sharp cutting edge, and has a blade angle almost parallel to the ground when used. (Wear shoes!) Comes with a 60 inch handle.
