HAND-FORGED BANQUET HOE

This high-grade German hoe is crafted from special steel, and its 1-A ash handle is sourced from European forests. For extra stability, the handle is wedge-fitted and prevents the blade from wobbling or falling out. The ground-functional, self-sharpening edges allow for use in multiple situations, such as planting, bed-prepping, soil-loosening, rooting-out, and even working on heavier soils containing clay. Plus, the hoe has a practical hanging hole for simple storage. Certified by PEFC, this garden hoe is made from SHW Schmiedetechnik in the Black Forest.

    Premium European Steel & Low-Maintenance Blade

    SHW tools are made from carefully sourced European steel—renowned for its purity and reliability. The forging process creates a dense, uniform grain structure that boosts overall strength and makes the blade less prone to cracking or warping.

    Why European Steel Matters: High-grade alloys ensure consistent heat treatment, resulting in a tough yet flexible blade that retains its edge even under heavy use.


    Bevel-Wearing Edge: Each hoe or blade is engineered with a precise bevel shape, allowing the cutting edge to “refresh” itself as it wears. You’ll spend less time sharpening and more time enjoying your garden.

    Durable Ash Handles—User-Replaceable for Life

    Every SHW tool comes fitted with a premium-grade European ash handle, chosen for its ideal strength-to-weight ratio and natural shock absorption. Handles are kiln-dried, grain-oriented for stability, and fixed with a robust wedge system.

    The forged steel head is backed by a lifetime warranty, and the handle is user-replaceable to extend its working life indefinitely.
