DeWit Serrated Farmer's Dagger

Boron steel is significantly harder and more durable than standard stainless steel, allowing it to hold a sharp edge longer while resisting bending or snapping under pressure. This makes it ideal for the heavy-duty digging and root-cutting tasks this tool is designed for.

Yes, the 5mm thick, serrated blade is designed for cutting through tough roots and fibrous plant material. While it can handle small branches, it is primarily intended for soil-based tasks like weeding and digging rather than precision pruning.

Full tang construction means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle, providing superior balance and leverage. This design prevents the handle from snapping off at the connection point, which is a common failure in cheaper garden tools.

The ash handle is durable and naturally shock-absorbent, but like any wood tool, it benefits from occasional care. We recommend keeping it clean and dry after use, and applying a light coat of linseed oil once or twice a year to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.

Yes, the robust 5mm thick boron steel blade is strong enough to handle light prying tasks in the garden. However, avoid using it as a heavy-duty lever for large boulders, as excessive force can still damage any hand tool.
