This seedling trowel was hand forged by Lucien Avery making this tool is an instant classic. The blade is forged from spring steel & heat treated to ensure a durable cutting edge. The blade is elegantly contrasted by the ferrules & end caps, milled in Rockl&, Maine. The Handle is turned by the Pennsylvanian Amish & finished with two coats of Tung Oil. Certain to become a go-to tool. Makes a lovely gift for the avid gardener!
