This hoe has 3 cutting edges and is known as a Swoe. The head is made from stainless steel. The Swoe will make your weeding/ hoeing a lot easier: you can push it, pull it towards you or use it on its edge. All very convenient and versatile. The Swoe has an extra long 56 inch long handle to make it easier to reach those hard to get too weeds. Just the ideal tool for every gardener.
