Sneeboer x Gardenheir Border Fork

Hand-forging creates a denser, more durable metal structure compared to stamped steel. Combined with the stainless steel material, this ensures the fork is highly resistant to rust and maintains its integrity even after years of heavy use in damp soil.

Yes, the four-tine design is specifically balanced for digging and soil aeration. While it is designed for precision work in borders and beds, its robust construction handles compacted soil effectively.

With a 36-inch handle and an overall length of 44 inches, this fork provides excellent leverage, allowing you to work from a more upright position. This reduces strain on your back during extended sessions of planting or cultivating.

The handle is finished with an eco-friendly walnut stain, which provides a layer of protection. To keep the wood in top condition, we recommend wiping it clean after use and occasionally applying a light coat of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out.

This is a limited-edition tool that pairs Sneeboer’s traditional Dutch forging techniques with elevated design details, such as brass accents and a custom-engraved ash handle. It offers the same professional-grade performance as their standard tools but with a refined aesthetic.

Yes, the 6.2-inch width is specifically sized for 'border' work. It is narrow enough to navigate between established plants without disturbing their root systems, yet wide enough to move a meaningful amount of soil.
