This hoe, a replica of a traditional Korean tool, is a hand tool particularly appreciated for weeding in difficult, clayey or stony soils. It is a very good sickle that can even be used as a small pickaxe if its head is turned a quarter turn. The weight of the head reduces the effort. Handcrafted, with an ash handle and a forged and tempered steel head, it is a very sturdy tool.

This traditional Korean De Pypere hoe is a kind of "Japanese weeder" that is particularly robust, a hand tool that will impress with its efficiency in difficult, clayey or stony terrains. Equipped with an ash handle, it has a large heart-shaped head, heavy and well sharpened, capable of hoeing, weeding, loosening and even digging in small spaces. Particularly sturdy, this head is forged and tempered steel. Maneuverable, efficient and resistant, it is a tool that will accompany the gardener for many years.

The Korean hoe is still relatively unknown to Western gardeners. A traditional tool used for a long time in Korea for soil work and weed control, it is characterized by a uniquely curved blade. It is used like a hoe, pulling the blade towards oneself, splitting the soil to loosen it, scrape it, to dislodge weeds, mound a crop, or to bring the soil over a sowing. Both a pick and a hoe, its head can slip around plants, in flower beds, in the vegetable garden or in flower pots. Its pointed blade allows for crumbling and lightening the surface layer of soil after digging, sectioning and uprooting the most resistant unwanted plants, or even digging shallow planting holes and furrows with little effort. It can also be used to easily weed under mulch.

Like the hoe, the Korean hoe is used to loosen and loosen the surface layer of soil, with the earth being aerated around the cultivated plants in the vegetable garden or ornamental garden. It also prevents the formation of a compacted layer that appears under the action of watering or rain in clayey or loamy soils. This hard and compact layer, which is very difficult to rehydrate and suffocating for plants, also promotes the rise of water to the surface and its evaporation. Working the soil on the surface after watering limits water evaporation. The Korean hoe is suitable for all types of soils, even heavy, stony, and difficult to work. It consists of a short mini handle with an ash handle, known for its hardness, with a socket where the forged head is fixed in a tempered steel that is resistant to both shocks and torsion. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.
