The Ultralight Stainless Steel Digging Spade is there for anyone who wants less weight to carry.

Key Features of Wilkinson Sword Spades

• Carbon steel heads: tough blades that stand up to regular digging. The green epoxy coating on the carbon steel border spade resists corrosion during outdoor use.
• Stainless steel heads: soil slides off more easily, and the blade stays cleaner and resists rust between jobs.
• Tread plates: a sturdy tread gives a comfortable surface for your boot, so you can drive the blade through compacted soil.
• Ash wood handles: natural ash is strong, shock-absorbing and comfortable to grip over a long session.
• Compact border and mini blades: these let you dig between established plants without disturbing their roots.
• Ultralight construction: a lighter spade reduces fatigue on long digging days.

Border and perennial mini spades suit anyone planting in confined spaces, dividing perennials or tidying flower beds. Landscapers and groundskeepers can use the stainless steel models for general digging, while the ultralight spade suits those who want to reduce strain on their back and arms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a border spade and a digging spade?

A border spade has a smaller, narrower blade for working between plants in beds and borders. A digging spade has a larger blade that moves more soil, which makes it better suited to new beds and vegetable plots.

Should I choose carbon steel or stainless steel?

Carbon steel blades are strong, and the epoxy coating helps protect against corrosion. Stainless steel blades clean easily and resist rust, so they suit damp or heavy soils.
