CAST STAINLESS STEEL HEAT
TREATED ALLOY |
15 degree beveled sides:
Straight-edge 15 degree beveled sides allow for a natural hand angle when
using the pick like a trowel to rake together loose rubble into a pile
prior to removal without losing leading edge contact with the ground.
This prevents the gathered material from "escaping" from under
the leading edge of the pick. |
Heat-treated alloy
steel:
Heat-treated alloy steel tampered to hold an edge, yet left soft enough
to be easily re-grindable for a blunter or sharper digging edge, or
different pick tip or hoe corner radius as desired. |

HICKORY HANDLE |
|
Top-of-the-line 12"
(305 mm) adze eye hickory handle with weather-resistant clear lacquer
and silicone finish for a slip-resistant grip. Shaped for maximum hand
comfort. Best quality available, manufactured from hickory with a
density of at least 48 pounds per cubic foot. Wooden handle does not
collect heat in the sun, preventing the "too-hot-to-touch"
syndrome. Lighter than metal or metal and leather handles, easier to
keep clean, and replaceable worldwide. Wood is also easier on the hand
because it helps to absorb the vibrations that can numb the hand after
day-long use. |
