DeWit Forged Transplant Trowel – Short Ash Handle, 7" Narrow Blade, Tempered Boron Steel

The DeWit Forged Transplant Trowel is a hand-forged, narrow-bladed garden trowel with a tempered boron-steel blade and an ash hardwood handle built for precise planting and long life.

Built in the Dutch forging tradition, this transplant trowel combines a slim, razor-edged blade with a lightweight, elastic ash handle so you can plant bulbs, move seedlings, and work in tight beds without fatigue. The blade’s full-length sharpening and tempered boron-steel construction give it strength and edge retention, while the FSC-certified European ash handle absorbs shock and resists breakage. Backed by DeWit’s limited lifetime guarantee, this tool is designed to be used season after season.

How does the narrow blade improve transplanting and bulb planting?

The trowel’s slim profile slips into confined spaces and around roots more easily than a wider garden trowel, letting you place plants and bulbs at the right depth without disturbing adjacent soil. The full-length sharpened edge aids clean cutting through compacted soil and light roots.

• 7" blade length for deep, precise holes
• 2.25" blade width fits between tight rows and pots
• Sharpened edges let you slice roots and firm soil cleanly

How durable is the DeWit transplant trowel for frequent use?

DeWit forges the blade from tempered boron steel, a material prized for strength and durability. The blade is hand-forged and heat-treated to resist bending and retain its edge, while the ash handle adds resilient flexibility to withstand repeated leverage and knocks.

• Hand-forged Swedish boron steel resists wear and bending
• Tempered and sharpened full-length blade for long-lasting edge
• European ash handle from FSC-certified forests provides shock resistance

What makes the handle comfortable and practical for long gardening sessions?

The short ash hardwood handle is shaped for a secure, ergonomic grip that reduces hand strain during repetitive tasks like transplanting and weeding. Ash offers natural elasticity that helps the tool flex slightly under load instead of cracking, and its lightweight feel keeps the whole tool balanced.

• Short, contoured ash handle fits common hand sizes comfortably
• Lightweight overall weight (~0.5 lbs) reduces fatigue
• Natural wood finish improves grip when hands are wet or dirty

How does this trowel compare to basic, mass-produced trowels?

Unlike stamped or welded imports, this DeWit trowel is forged and tempered, which produces a tougher, longer-lasting blade and a more refined edge. The combination of premium boron steel and a hardwood handle designed for resilience and balance gives it advantages in precision jobs and longevity.

• Forged construction vs. stamped metal for superior strength
• Sharpened edge across the full blade for cleaner cuts and digging
• DeWit lifetime guarantee supports ongoing use and repair
