Razor Hoe
Being a bit old fashioned, I've never been very impressed with gimmicky garden tools, but this (IMHO) is a real winner.

Those are used widely in Japan and the design is probably thousands of years old, so I wouldn't consider it gimmicky at all David. Good price too.
I have one of these, it is the BEST present for the garden I've ever been given! I use it every single time I'm out there.
hi davidk looked at the web site the weed slice is like we made a few about 45yrs ago in the forge not as good but worked until some nice angel stole my tools about 20 yrs ago I might give that a good think I have a push hoe that I heated and twisted to make a tool that works now now that I are well retired and a lot of wolf tools anything that helps my back all in favour off
Yes, I knew that, Bob.....perhaps I didn't phrase my message very good.
Looked at that last night David, I am tempted.

- it's one of the most useful tools I have 
Promise you won't regret it, doc.....I've cleared a patch of creeping buttercup with mine that would have been a real pain without it.
Mine is a right-handed version, so I imagine they make left-handed versions too...given the blade action it would be important to choose the right one.
Please watch, I'm on commission.

Looks good. I hope that's G & T in the jug.
This is also an excellent hoe - the best I've ever used, especially if the soil is light or already well-cultivated. Not sure that it'd cope with a compacted clay soil though.

I have an old fashioned, long handled, narrow blade onion hoe ( cost £3 second hand.) I have sharpened the blade with a file and a grit stone and find it perfect for dealing with large and small weeds.
