A shovel is one of the standard tools in the garden and belongs in every tool shed. If you are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-use and yet absolutely reliable model, we recommend this shovel from Krumpholz. Designed as a spade shovel, it even allows you to work in loose soil and supports you with its specially hardened blade edges, for example when digging planting holes. The forged, large-format shovel blade with treads makes it easier to handle all types of bulk material. Whether compost, mulch, sand or potting soil, the generous curvature ensures that nothing falls over. What's more, the slightly shortened ash wood handle has a T-grip so that you can get a firm grip and drive the blade in at any time.

The Krumpholz family knows a thing or two about forging. Based in the Franconian Forest, their ancestors acquired their first own hammer mill - the Guttenberger Hammer - in 1799 and were already producing tools and other everyday objects from forged iron back then. Today, the company's fortunes are in the hands of the eighth generation. The garden tools that leave the production site, which is still in its old location but has long since been modernized and expanded, are tools of the highest quality: shaped to their intended use under the weight of the forging hammer, compacted and reinforced where necessary, fitted with sharpened edges or blades and equipped with high-quality ash wood handles. Free-form forging, as practiced at Krumpholz, requires special skill and a sense of proportion. The steel used, a Swedish steel with a chrome-molybdenum content, is tough, strong and easy to clean.
