The Apollo Farm Kinzo is the best spade on the planet. Period.
Light, extremely sharp, and very strong. No twisting with thick tubular elephant steel. This spade can cut through 2 inch tree roots or the most stubborn perennial plant. A top quality tool for digging straight drains, garden edges, or tree planting in heavy clay.
Single blade, should be sharpened to a fine point with a diamond file. Wear steel capped boots if sharpening the high carbon steel.
Ideal for planting trees, mixing cement, moving manure, turning over compost or digging out stubborn ginger; the Kinzo Square provides substantial length, leverage, strength and a sharp edge.
Excellent for cutting through clay and digging trenches on a tough landscaping job.
Expect some scratching on the shiny steel with use and maintenance. This will not reduce the durability or life of the steel. Always wash and dry your tools at the end of each work day. 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.
