Sneeboer Half Round Trowel

This trowel features a hand-forged stainless steel blade with a specific half-round shape, which is optimized for precision work like transplanting seedlings and container gardening. Unlike wider, flat trowels, this design allows you to cut through soil and roots with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.

No, the blade is not serrated. However, it is hand-forged and sharpened to a fine edge, which allows it to slice through roots and tough soil cleanly without the need for jagged teeth.

No, this trowel does not feature depth markings. It is designed primarily for precision transplanting and container work where the focus is on maneuverability and root cutting rather than measuring planting depth.

The FSC-certified ash handle is durable, but like all wood-handled tools, it benefits from occasional maintenance. Keep it clean and dry after use, and consider applying a light coat of linseed oil once or twice a year to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.

While the stainless steel is highly rust-resistant and built for longevity, it is best practice to store the tool in a dry place after use. Prolonged exposure to moisture and soil can eventually affect any metal, so cleaning and drying it after each session will keep it in heirloom condition.
