Falci
Magna Grecia Hoe (aka Magna Graecia meaning "Great Greece")
Please Note: The Magna Grecia hoe has not been made for many years now. We have thus far been unable to find a perfect replacement for the original. We hope to find a new manufacturer that can produce these with similar quality and at a reasonable price point.
In the meantime, may we suggested two high quality products with similar capabilities:
|
Our 3-tine fork-hoe, lacks the chopping blade of the original Magna Grecia but excels at loosening difficult soil. A cross between a broadfork and a digging hoe. |
A large duo-hoe with tines, weighing in at over 3 pounds with a 13.5-inch blade length. Made in Germany with a 10-year warranty. |
Magna Grecia Hoe by Falci Tools
Comes with 54" Canadian made hickory handle.
Item number: FA244
This is the remaining inventory of an out of production item. That was one of the highest quality Falci Company's hoes ever made. It is made of special tool steel with extra silica content to provide high abrasion resistance, and then hardened to 52-53 RC.
The Magna Grecia is a a 2-pronged combination hoe with long tines for deep soil-working. This tool is so different from most hoes, it is hard to even classify it as one... it's more like a digging fork that you swing! Because of the physics of swinging a tool (rather than thrusting it) into the soil, this tool has some great advantages in terms of deep penetration with relatively minimal effort. The blade on the back is good for breaking up clumps. Comes with a Canadian made Hickory handle. The forged head is made by the Falci company in Italy. Using this tool to break small areas of sod, or for deep aeration of beds, is actually amazingly easy and effective if used properly!
A great multipurpose tool!
