More than a tool, it's an heirloom! Made from high quality hand-forged, tempered boron steel, the blade of the DeWit Mini Spork will not bend even with heavy duty use. Slots in the blade give the tool a spring effect. The unique cutting edge of the Spork makes it easy to cut through the lawn or soil. Great for digging in confined areas. Also works well for splitting large perennials for transplanting. Patented design. ~40" length relieves strain on your back. This tool is guaranteed a lifetime! On April 1, 1898, Willem DeWit started his blacksmith company in a small village in northern Holland. Today, the 4th generation of the forging family is running the company. Old-fashioned quality combined with innovative designs make DeWit the ultimate gardener's choice. Using the latest equipment and techniques combined with historical craftsmanship make DeWit one of the most respected garden tool manufacturers in the world. DeWit tools are made from high quality Swedish Boron Steel. European Ash hardwood handle is strong but lightweight, and also has elasticity so the tool can bend without breaking.
