By combining old and new materials with traditional and modern technologies, Spear & Jackson"s Traditional Stainless Steel tools really get to grips with looking good and performing well. The mirror polished stainless steel head resists rust, minimizes soil adhesion and is tanged for knuckle clearance. The weatherproofed hardwood shaft has a stainless steel ferrule for added strength. A leather thong makes it easy to hang up the tool when it"s not in use.
