Red Pig Gardening Trowel

Because the blade is made of hand-forged steel, it can develop surface rust if left wet or stored in damp conditions. To maintain its longevity, we recommend wiping the blade clean and drying it thoroughly after each use.

This is a compact, precision tool designed specifically for detailed tasks like container gardening, transplanting seedlings, or working in tight spaces. It is smaller than a traditional heavy-duty digging trowel, making it more maneuverable for delicate work.

The walnut handle is natural wood and will benefit from an occasional application of a food-safe oil or wood wax to keep it from drying out. Keeping it clean and avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme moisture will help preserve the wood's finish and integrity.

The hand-forged steel construction is quite durable, but due to its smaller size, it is best suited for potting soil, raised beds, and garden borders. It is not intended for heavy-duty prying in hard, rocky, or clay-heavy ground.

The walnut handle is shaped to provide a natural, comfortable grip that fits well in the hand. While it is designed for comfort, the compact size is optimized for precision tasks rather than extended, heavy-duty digging sessions.
