Kinzo Pro Curved - Plant Lifting & Trenching Spade

This spade has a 20 degree curved blade with a shallow scoop 35cm long ending in a single edge pointed tip. 

The curved blade  provides support for lifting heavy soil or mature plants. Properly sharpened it will cut through heavy clay and tree roots.

These are very light, ergonomic and strongly welded spades. There is no twisting with tubular elephant steel. This spade is ideal for planting bulbs, digging post holes and digging trenches for cables or pipes. 

Ideal for plumbers, electricians for dealing with soil and clay at the bottom of a trench. Some gardeners also prefer this spade to others because the curved blade helps when lifting plants and tree root balls.

A tool must work for your body and your garden. Kinzo spades are ergonomic, light and very solid.

Kinzo spades will last many years plus with heavy duty use. Dr Keith Hammett QSM has a Kinzo spade that is 25 years old, used almost daily, it’s still very sharp and strong high carbon Japanese Steel. 

Expect some scratching and a patina on the shiny steel with use and maintenance. This will not reduce the durability or life of the high carbon steel. Always wash and dry your tools at the end of each workday. Apply camellia or linseed oil after drying. Regular application of oil will help soil slide of the blade as your work, reducing time spent scrapping soil off your blade/spade. Sharpen with our Japanese diamond file.

Kinzo spades and shovels are beautiful tools that will make garden work easy on your body and they are so much faster in the field.
