Forged OFFNER digging fork with 4 flat tines and ash wood T-handle
OFFNER digging fork with 4 flat tines in bronze, complete with ash wood ATLAS handle in a length of 90 cm, equipped with a T-grip. The strong forged tines have a sharp point and are 1.5 cm wide and 27 cm long. The fork is attached to the handle with a tang and spring ferrule.
A digging fork is used for digging over or loosening the soil, transplanting perennial plants and shrubs, turning compost piles, and lifting potatoes and other tuber crops.
The advantage over a spade is that thanks to the flat tines there is considerably less 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 fits comfortably in the hand. Thanks to the shape of the grip, the user has a good hold during 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 that it does not shrink and the tool remains firmly attached to the handle.
