Description
With its curved shape for ease of working, the Castor Trowel is a design classic. It has a beech handle and a pointed, heart-shaped blade which effortlessly cuts through the soil, making it ideal for general weeding and planting. Its unique bronze head, which will develop a beautiful bronze patina overtime, makes the tool hard wearing than stainless steel alternatives, and the sharp edges ensure a smoother, cleaner slice through stubborn garden soil. The wooden handle balances the tool, keeping it perfectly weighted, making it a joy to use.

Ingredients
Hand crafted by Austrian coppersmiths, the tool heads are made of solid bronze (copper with a little bit of tin to add hardness, strength and sharpness) and the handles turned from responsibly sourced European hardwood beech.
