Krumpholz Hand-Forged Classic Trowel

Premium German craftsmanship

A classic planting trowel crafted using traditional German manufacturing techniques. Forged from a single piece of steel, this tool is designed for digging planting holes, filling containers with soil and managing general garden work with strength and precision.

The specially shaped blade allows for efficient entry into firmer ground, making it suitable for a wide range of soil types. Balanced and durable, it suits gardeners who value tools built for long service.

Perfect for Australian conditions

Single-piece forged steel is what separates this trowel from the stamped and welded tools that bend at the neck. It will work through firm soil and stony ground without flexing or failing.
