Review: your last shovel/spade! - I recently moved to a new home that was still under construction, so a lot of workmen were here digging for hydrants and electrical work, plumbing etc... when my favorite shovel went missing. I landscaped for 20 years and farmed for 13 more years, so I know spades and shovels. As a now 60 yr old woman, I depend upon quality tools to make physical work less damaging and difficult. So having my 10 yr old $65.00 spade "accidentally taken" really pissed me off. I went looking for a replacement since I was readying to put in an orchard and massive plantings at the new place and after reading the reviews and finding that I could buy an additional foot piece to attach to the other side of the top of it I bought this one. And omg. I feel like chaining it to my shed when not in use now. (Woe be the fool who takes this one) Its just that good of a piece of equipment. It goes right through roots, cuts clean holes and most importantly is weighted correctly to allow the tool to do the work, not you. I LOVE this thing. If you have a crazy gardener to buy a present for- this is it. Or anyone who uses a shovel. They will be thanking you forever every time they have to plant something.... Seriously, this is a thing of beauty for all serious plants-people. Young or old. Review: No mercy - Update 2/2024 I have used this shovel frequently and even let other people borrow it to tackle tough projects. It still looks the same and is a pleasure to use. This is one tool I will make sure I have in an apocalypse. It is hard to believe I’ve had this thing for almost ten years. This is a great tool to have. Landscaping in my backyard has been a major project and pain this year. Everywhere I dig has tree roots and I killed at least one shovel and was working on my second before I purchased this one. Before I ordered this I would have to use three tools to dig, a shovel an axe and saw. Now I only use this shovel. It is built like a tank and I use it pry, chop and dig. Make sure there is not anything in the ground below you don't want to destroy, because this thing will slice through it before you know what happened. Wear protective shoes and be aware of where your feet are before you cut your toes clean off, because this shovel shows no mercy. If you treat this shovel with the respect it deserves, you should have no problem. It is extremely sharp, unlike the $56 shovel (Spear Head) I ordered before that warned that it was sharp only to find the wrong end of a butter knife is more dangerous. This shovel was my only tool used to remove six red tip shrubs that had been in the ground for 30 years after I cut the branches back with a chainsaw. It wasn't the easiest job, but I would have given up if I didn't have this shovel's prying and cutting power. I would recommend this shovel to someone who values their time and likes tools built to last and won't end up in a landfill like so many things do in this age of disposable everything. ## Features - 13 Inch Long Blade with Straight Cutting Edge - Main Shank is Zinc Plated Aircraft Tubing - Tubular Steel D-Handle - Rubber Foot Pad Can Be Bolted to Either Side - Handle: 27 Inches Long ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,030,907 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #176 in Gardening Spades | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | King of Spades | | Color | Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Style | Classic | ## Product Details - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Color:** Steel - **Brand:** unuaST - **Style:** Classic - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Is Foldable:** No - **Grip Type:** D-Grip ## Images ![King of Spades Straight Blade Spade - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718tNlm7XZL.jpg) ![King of Spades Straight Blade Spade - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HqQr3mBnL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i get just the blade ?i don't need the handle ..thank you** A: My handle is welded to the blade but if you go to The King of Spades site you can buy just the blade. **Q: Does the foot pad come with it?** A: Mine came with the foot pad, but it is removable so that if you wear it out you can replace it. **Q: Where is this made .thanks** A: Made in USA. Company is listed out of Dayton, Ohio. **Q: Is this the same product as the King of Spades nursery spade?** A: I did not check the dimensions and thus I cannot give you a firm answer but they look identical to me (i.e. handle, spade, rubber). But man, this spade is a beast. It costs me a leg ($245) to get it imported to Canada and it better lasts me a lifetime. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ your last shovel/spade! *by C***M on November 9, 2020* I recently moved to a new home that was still under construction, so a lot of workmen were here digging for hydrants and electrical work, plumbing etc... when my favorite shovel went missing.

This is an expensive investment but, darn, this thing is indestructible. It got abused several times by one of our family friends, who tried to dig up soil from a grass lawn with subjacent stones and bricks. And he barely scratched the spade. The sharp edge is easy to sharpen with a stone if it gets dull but you probably do not need to. Love it but again the cost is the only downside I can think of. Update: for those who want to import this to Canada, the total cost is about $245 CAN (including tax and custom). I will leave this to your judgement but if I knew it was going to be this expensive, I may have backed off from buying it. Just too expensive. Update after 6 years of use: this still runs strong. This is a very sturdy tool. Totally worth the higher cost. ## Frequently Bought Together - King of Spades Straight Blade Spade - Fiskars 46" Spade Garden Shovel - Steel Flat Shovel with Ergonomic D-Handle - Sharp Blade Square Shovel for Lawn Edging, Digging, Pruning - Heavy Duty Yard Tool - Easy Cuts in Grass and Turf - A.M.
