Countryman Digging Spade

The countryman digging spade is mainly used where a large patch of open ground requires digging or turning over. The larger blade is ideal for double digging, spading up the ground, preparing beds, moving soil and other loose material. The semi flat blade design of the spade permits is used as an edging tool and is tough enough for slicing through compacted soil and roots.

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.
