Bill93 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I don't know how many garage sale trowels I've ruined while digging down to a bench mark or other monument because they won't stand much prying force. I recently saw one of these, a gardener's Nisaku NJP650 weeding and digging knife. Somewhat pricey at $20-25, but very sturdy, sharp edges for cutting roots or other vegetation, and inch and cm scales as a bonus. Much handier than a machete for those occasions when you don't need the length. It comes with a sheath but probably isn't legal to carry in public. A downside is that it is sharp enough to cut utility lines that the old trowels wouldn't. https://www.target.com/p/-/A-79542798 1 Quote Link to comment
kayakbird Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Bill93 @ all, A search for 'Garden Hoe Rake Hand Tools 15 Inch Gardening Cultivator' brings up several $20.00+/- options for one similar to the one I found near EV0852 6Mar2010. The hoe end has been welded back on a couple of times. https://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.aspx?PID=EV0852 1 Quote Link to comment
