Forged OFFNER digging fork with step and forged flat tines
OFFNER digging fork with 4 flat tines and a step in bronze, complete with ash wood ATLAS metal D-handle, 95 cm long. The strong forged tines have a sharp point and are 1.5 cm wide and 29 cm long. The fork is attached to the handle with a tang and spring socket.
Thanks to the step, extra force can be applied with the foot while digging, and footwear is not damaged.
A digging fork is used for turning over or loosening the soil, transplanting perennials and shrubs, turning compost piles, and lifting potatoes and other tuber crops.
The advantage over a spade is that the flat tines significantly reduce the chance of roots being damaged or cut. In addition, much less soil and stones stick to it, making the blade lighter.
The ATLAS T-handle with T-grip feels comfortable in the hand. Thanks to the shape of the grip, the user has a good hold while digging and scooping.
The ATLAS handle is made from ash wood rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood has been re-dried, so it does not shrink and the tool stays firmly attached to the handle.
