Not your average spade. Incredibly strong, lethally sharp and surprisingly light — and golden. Made by Niwaki in Japan and built to last. General digging, tree planting, rootballing — it handles everything without flexing or breaking, thanks to its rigid steel pipe shaft and firm tread. The comfortable tubular steel handle makes it a pleasure to use, however long the afternoon.

And as the golden paint gradually wears to reveal the steel beneath, it only gets better. Regular use is the best treatment.
