    Dumb question, but wouldn't it be easier to get someone to slice the end off a spade?
    Well that would be easiest solution but aren't all spades curved? I don't know.

    Actually that's it B3!!! 
    Just get an old spade and pound it flat with a sledgehammer.

    Quick search with dear old Google quickly found the item, and just as quickly put paid to any thoughts of having one.  Over a hundred quid for a lawn edging tool!!!!???  Not in my price bracket I'm afraid.
    Could you post the reference of that tool, please?

    No, because a spade blade had a curve on it and isn't vertical.

    My spade is flat at the sharp end so I just use that. It's probably no quicker than a half-moon thingy (it's a border spade) but one less thing to find storage space for.
