Tracing its roots to southern Japan, the Taisho Hoe is simply a hardworking, super-tough gardening tool. With a whopping 16 ½” by 4 ¾” high-carbon steel blade, it’s probably the heaviest-duty hoe we’ve encountered, but it’s well balanced and surprisingly comfortable to use. Bigger, faster, and stronger, it’s made in Japan and includes a sturdy 47” poplar handle. Some light assembly is required.
