Magna Grecia Field Model
This incredibly versatile tool is designed for digging, weeding, and trenching in agricultural soil. It is highly useful for tearing through roots, sifting through or hacking apart clods, and breaking up thick hard-pans. The double-tined pick can be sunk deep into the ground to pull out sizable chunks utilizing the leverage of the long handle, and the flat mattock on the back is perfect for dismantling the chunks. Excellent for foraging, small-scale intensive agriculture, and landscaping.
The tool head should be cleaned regularly with steel wool and coconut or linseed oil, and should not be stored outdoors or in high humidity, as rusting may occur.
The tool head is made from AR-400 grade steel. This alloy exhibits high abrasion resistance (AR) and hardness. The addition of carbon and manganese, as well as quenching and tempering increase the hardness of the steel and create a very durable, impact-resistant surface. It is used in applications where abrasive materials such as grains, coal, ore, cement, gravel, light aggregate, and earth are being handled.
The ergonomic wooden handle is made from ash by a local woodworker.
The lowest foot of the length of the shaft has been coated with Linseed oil to protect from mud splatter.
This tool will ship in two separate packages.
