Material and workmanship

The spade from the 'Krafts' range fits very well in the hand and is shaped so that a lot of soil can be moved with minimal effort. The ash wood handle is sturdy and ergonomically shaped. The spade blade is made of hand-forged steel and has a good, precise edge.

Materials used:
Ash wood

Ash grows almost throughout Europe, especially in the northern Alpine foothills. Along with beech and oak, it is one of the most important deciduous utility woods. The wood of the ash is very dense and hard, yet it can be easily worked due to its high elasticity. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, ash is used in many areas. For example, in musical instrument making, equipment manufacturing, sports equipment, and also tool handles.

The spade handle
The ‘Krafts’ spade handle is made of ash wood and is ergonomically designed. The handle is T-shaped, allowing us to move the topsoil with minimal effort. Ash is an ideal wood for use in garden tools. It is sturdy and durable, as well as pleasant to the touch. The wood is varnished to better protect it against moisture and dirt.
 
The spade blade
The spade blade is made of high-quality steel, which is extremely durable thanks to the special treatment.
