Stone Spade with Steps

Stone Spade with Steps

The Stone Spade with Steps was designed for the gardener who refuses to let rocky ground get in the way of beautiful plantings. Inspired by renowned English rose grower John Scarman, this hand-forged tool features a uniquely toothed cutting edge that grips, traps, and severs roots through compacted, stony soil — roughly 30% more cutting surface than a standard spade. Whether you are transplanting mature roses, established shrubs, or woody perennials, this spade turns a laborious task into a controlled, satisfying one.

Hand-Forged for Rocky Soil and Root-Dense Gardens

Crafted by Sneeboer in the Netherlands, a workshop with over a century of expertise combining tradition and innovation, this spade is built from the finest stainless steel and fitted with a durable ash handle. The stepped platform lets you drive the blade deep with your full body weight, giving you confident leverage exactly where you need it.
