Our spades have reinforced fiberglass handles, making them lightweight, strong, weather resistant, low maintenance, and non-conductive. Their high carbon manganese steel blades are pre-sharpened at a 35 degree angle for a durable edge that gets sharper with use. The lightweight cushioned grip is UV resistant, and the blade is designed to cut through tough conditions with ease. It's no wonder why our spade was awarded "Best of the Best" by Bestreviews!
