Sneeboer Hand-Forged Archeologist’s Trowel

Sneeboer Hand-Forged Archeologist’s Trowel
£70.00
Ex Tax: £58.33
Built to last a lifetime, of stainless steel with an ash handle. This is the perfect tool both for the careful scraping away accreted layers of earth, or for delicate cementitious repairs. The firm of Sneeboer began manufacturing garden and other tools in 1913. Still forged, ground, and assembled entirely by hand, they offer the home or allotment gardener tools of rare and exceptional quality. About 24cm overall length, with a head measuring approximately 12.5cm by 6cm.

Care Advice

Despite its name, stainless steel is not 100% rust proof. With that in mind, we still recommend hand washing, and storage in a dry environment. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
  • Weight g 120g
  • Item Dimensions L22 x W5 x H5, Blade H10.5
  • Materials Ash wood and stainless steel
