Forged digging fork with 4 tines, closed bottom and ash wood handle
OFFNER digging fork with 4 flat tines and closed bottom, complete with an ash wood ATLAS handle, 90 cm long, fitted with a T-grip. The forged tines are 1.5 cm wide.
The base plate of this digging fork cuts easily through denser soils such as peat or clay. The openings above the base plate prevent the soil from sticking to the blade.
The fork is attached to the handle with polished, double forged springs. This very strong handle connection provides extra strength at both the top and bottom of the handle. This digging fork is therefore suitable for heavier work.
A digging fork is used for digging 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, thanks to the flat tines, there is significantly less chance of roots being damaged or cut off. 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 rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood is kiln-dried so it will not shrink and the tool stays firmly attached to the handle.
