Traditional spork-shaped hand tool by De Pypere

This traditional De Pypere transplanting tool with a very hard wooden handle, stands out for its solid 3-pronged head shaped like a 'spork'. Both a fork and a spade, it is a versatile handheld tool that allows for planting and transplanting, loosening soil, and weeding. It will be very useful for working in restricted or elevated spaces such as flower boxes or vegetable beds. Its head is hand-forged, with a steel body and a boron steel finish. It is a lightweight, manoeuvrable, sturdy, practical and well-made tool that will last for many years.

Dimensions: head width: 8cm (3in), length: 12cm (5in). Handle length: 14cm (6in).

The transplanting tool is one of the essential tools for gardening and one of the first to acquire. It consists of a very short handle made of natural ash, known for the hardness of its wood, with a socket where the forged head in tempered carbon steel that is resistant to shocks, torsion, and corrosion thanks to the boron steel finish is fixed. The 3 sharpened prongs easily penetrate the soil and loosen it without the need to turn it over. The spork-shaped head allows for easy removal of weeds, including their roots. It is a small handheld tool suitable for all types of soils, including heavy, clayey, and hard soils. It is valuable for weeding in small spaces and creating planting holes, as it can be manoeuvred between neighbouring plants for precise work. This model with its very short handle is particularly suitable for raised planters. Remember to work in a kneeling position if you are working in a traditional flower bed, to protect your back. The handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable.

The traditional De Pypere range includes high-quality tools, all made of forged steel and equipped with ash handles. The boron steel coating on the prongs is very hard and resistant, a valuable material for tools that can be heavily used in the garden.
