Robust and easy to use

Kondo Seisakusho's Transplanting Trowel is a small shovel that is convenient for a variety of gardening tasks, such as transplanting flowers and plants, planting seedlings, digging up soil, and cutting weeds. Its authentic specifications, forged and hardened from durable steel, are the product of traditional blacksmith craftsmanship. The tip is a double-structure blade made of iron and steel, the same as a single-edged knife, which is good at digging into the soil and offers little resistance when digging. The tip is very sharp, making it easy to cut even fine grass roots.

Easy to grip and less tiring

The handle, which makes use of over 100 years of hoe-making techniques, is an oval shape that is easy to grip. Made of wood, it is non-slip and allows you to grip it firmly while working. Furthermore, the connection between the body and the handle is designed to transmit force efficiently, so your arms and hands won't get tired easily. This is an ingenious design unique to Kondo Seisakusho, which has been making farm tools for a long time.
