Durable stainless steel digging fork with a one-piece hardwood shaft and wishbone handle, designed for easy soil preparation and digging in loose, sandy conditions.

Review: Well crafted and that vintage style. - A well crafted garden fork, nice wooden handle and shaft, though handle is slightly small, but that could be just my chunky old hands. The head seems well forged, and in use first impressions are good sharp prongs and no sign of weakness. In these things time is the big test, so will update as necessary.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long are the tines/prongs on this fork?  I need long prongs for aerating.  Thank you.**
A: Hi Julie. The tines are a smidge over 10.5 inches. I have aerated using this for, but to be honest, I found the times too long and thick.  I have a smaller fork wit thinner tines about 8 inches which I prefer.  This gets me down to between 4 and 6 inches depending on the sub-structure/builders rubble equation.Hope this helpsDave B

**Q: How long are the tines?**
A: 22.5 cm this is a well balanced fork and not too heavy.

**Q: how long is it in total**
A: 1020 mm  or if like me 3ft 4 1/4 "

**Q: I'I'd like this to be a gift - can the shaft be engraved with a message? Do you know of a company who can do this please?**
A: Timpsons can usually engrave anything.. but ring the manufacturers may help to solve  your problem..

Lovely to use, feels good in the hand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handle broke twice
*by C***A on 5 November 2025*

This is an excellent fork head but I have had to replace the handle twice in the four years I've had it. Buying a new one because it is such a hassle getting the handle off the old one.
