A fine example of elegant simplicity born out of necessity.
This is the 'go to' gardening tool for thousands of Russian gardeners. When it comes to sowing and growing you can do most anything with it.
There are two sizes of 'Swage' hoe, this is the large one it's ideal for managing veg plots, cultivating borders and sowing and hoeing. The long handle allows you to stand upright while working to minimise back strain.
The blade is made of stainless steel sharpened on the point and both faces. The blade has a curved profile, hence the name Swage. This curve makes the tool exceptionally strong and also reduces the tendency for damp soil to stick to the blade.
The blade is fixed to the birchwood handle with two strong bolts secured with wingnuts. It's easy to remove and tighten, no tools needed. If you should ever need a new handle (unlikely) it's a very quick job to fix it to the tool head to a new pre-drilled handle.
The weight of the tool is ideal for both hoeing and a chopping action used when cultivating and loosening soil. It is easy to use and very quick to get the hang of.
