The Scheddi is a compact, precisely balanced hand hoe designed for weeding and soil loosening around closely planted areas. Its sharp, half-moon blade slices easily through the soil, making quick work of weeds while minimizing disturbance to neighboring plants. Formed from a bronze alloy rich in copper, it combines the natural benefits of copper with the strength and durability of bronze. Copper-rich tools are valued in the garden for their natural resistance to rust and low-friction surface, which helps prevent soil (whether sticky clay or sandy loam) from clinging to the metal. Over time, they may also contribute trace elements that support healthy soil biology.Details: Solid copper alloy that will create attractive patina over time Beech wood handle with drilled hole for attaching loops Length: 12.6 inches Width: 3.15 inches Weight: 7 oz About PKS Bronze:PKS Bronze / Kupferspuren.at creates beautifully crafted garden tools from solid copper alloy with traditional European craftsmanship.
