Traditional border spade by De Pypere

This De Pypere traditional border spade, equipped with a T-shaped handle, has a small sharpened blade perfect for turning any type of soil, even compacted, in narrow areas that require precise work, for example for the maintenance of cultivated flower beds, or to create well-defined borders. Its blade is hand-forged in steel, with a boron steel finish. It is a durable and resistant, well-made tool that will last for many years.

Dimensions: blade: 17 x 11cm (4in) - handle length: 80cm (32in)

The border spade is an essential tool, designed to lift, turn, loosen and crumble the soil deeply, in small areas. Applied fertiliser (well-decomposed compost, organic fertiliser, horse manure...) can be incorporated into the soil at the same time as it is turned. The spade with its sharp edges, can also be used to cut roots or pull out vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips). This spade consists of a natural ash handle, renowned for its hardness, with a socket where the forged blade is fixed. It is made of tempered steel resistant to impacts, twisting, and corrosion thanks to the boron steel finish. The T-shaped handle multiplies the force: it allows for leverage to drive the head into the soil with the help of the foot. The handle is compostable, the metal head is recyclable.

The De Pypere traditional range includes quality tools, all made of forged applied steel and equipped with ash handles. The boron steel that covers the blades is very hard and very 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 except consumables (screws, springs, other) and within the scope of normal use.
