'Sukoppu' Golden Spade Standard Size

£42.00

Strong, sharp, surprisingly light and golden, this is, surely, the ultimate garden spade? It's ideal for digging, tree planting, mixing compost and all manner of other tasks. I love using it to plant potatoes and dahlia tubers - the pointed blade cuts through the ground like a knife through butter. Weighing in at only 1.75kg you can count on this golden wonder not to flex or break under heavy use.

  • Comfortable tubular steel handle, firm tread and rigid steel pipe shaft
  • Overall dimensions: 97cm x 23cm x 3.5cm
  • Made from steel
  • As the paint wears off, the steel may slowly begin to rust. Regular use is the best treatment
  • Boxed for easy gift wrapping
  • Also available in a smaller size

Brand Focus

Niwaki

When it comes to making tools for cutting, chopping, snipping or shearing, no one knows their craft better than the Japanese. Niwaki, meaning simply 'garden tree', is a Wiltshire-based company founded by Jake Hobson in 2004. Having learned his craft in an Osaka nursery, Jake returned home with a passion for pruning that’s helped to make Niwaki the leading brand of Japanese tools, ladders, knives and accessories in the country. 

The quality and precision of Niwaki products are legendary, many of them made in small quantities by deeply traditional methods: professional gardeners swear by them. Once you've used a pair of Niwaki snips, secateurs, shears or loppers, you'll never go back to your old cutting tools again.
