Field Hoe With 7in Steel Blade

• 7 Inch Triple Edge
• High-Carbon Steel Blade
• Northern Ash Handle
• Made In USA

The Leonard Field Hoe With 7in Steel Blade is the one you grab for heavy soil and dense roots. A 3/16-inch thick, high-carbon, heat-treated steel blade gives it the weight and bite to break crusted soil and slice through stubborn roots without chattering. The 7-inch blade is beveled on three sides, so it can chop, shave, and pry depending on how you angle the head. Our take is that it’s worth keeping around for the ugly jobs—old planting beds, compacted paths, and anything with hidden root runs.

That thickness isn’t just for show; the blade is welded to the socket, then press fit and riveted for a connection that holds up to years of swinging. The contoured Northern ash handle is lacquer coated for weather resistance and better control when your hands are dusty or damp. Use it to open up heavy soils before planting, cut back encroaching weeds at the crown, or clean up edge lines along beds where string trimming feels sloppy. Expect an added handling fee at checkout due to the length of the tool.

Product Tips

• For heavy clay, chop in a grid pattern first, then rake smooth once the clods are loosened.
• Keep the bevel working for you by sharpening the edges occasionally with a file.
• Aim strikes at the base of weeds to sever roots instead of just removing tops.
• When working near desirable plants, use shorter strokes and the side edge for controlled slicing.
