Small traditional garden fork from De Pypere.

This small traditional De Pypere digging fork, equipped with an ash handle, has a small 3-tine head that can be used to turn any type of soil, even compacted soil, in tight and narrow areas that require precise work. Its short T-shaped handle allows for easy use in a seated or kneeling position. Its head is hand-forged from steel, with a boron steel finish. It is a durable, robust, well-made tool that will last for many years.

Dimensions: blade: 17 x 11cm (4in) - handle length: 40cm (16in)

The fork is a complementary tool to the spade, designed to loosen, cultivate, and break up the soil deeply on small areas. It is much better suited than the spade for working with clay or heavy and compacted soils. It allows you to loosen the soil without turning it over, simply by penetrating the tines. Unlike the spade, this garden tool does not disturb the soil's microbial life and does not cut through earthworms, which are essential for soil health and fertility. It can be used to remove weeds, as well as certain vegetables (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips), and to divide large clumps of perennial plants. This fork consists of a natural ash handle, known for its hardness, with a socket where the forged head made of tempered steel that is resistant to shocks, twisting, and corrosion thanks to the boron steel finish is attached. The T-shaped handle multiplies the force: it allows for leverage to drive the head into the soil. It 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 tines is very hard and resistant, making it a valuable material for tools that can be heavily used in the garden.

This tool is under warranty. The warranty does not apply to handles or grips, only to the metal parts, excluding consumables (screws, springs, etc.), and within the scope of normal use.
