About this item

• Sure, I'd be happy to help rephrase the lines to remove duplicates while maintaining their meanings. However, I'll need the specific lines you'd like me to modify. Please provide the text you want changed!
• HANDLE - FSC CERTIFIED GERMAN ASH - Straight shaft - Straight Grip - Individually selected for grain orientation and density - 150 grit smooth sanded - Linseed oil finish. Our saw mill cuts the Ash logs into planks, which are then stored and softly air dried for 9 to 10 months, depending on the weather in Northern Europe that season. Our proprietary drying process will bring the wood's moisture content down to a precise level, before the wood is ready to be made into handles.
• BEAD BLASTED PREMIUM GRADE GERMAN C50 CARBON STEEL HEAD with powder coated finish - Ideal logo stamped - Heat treated and oil hardened. The steel blank is heated to approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. An indentation is pressed into the blank from both sides. The steel is rolled in multiple stages, which is strengthening the steel and increasing density. A bead blasted finish creates an even and matte appearance, while protecting against rust and corrosion.
• SPECIFICATIONS - Head Width: 12 in. - Total Length: 69 in. - Total Weight: 3 lb. Carbon steel is susceptible to rusting over time. Rust can be prevented by keeping the steel head oiled. If rusting does occur, use steel wool or an abrasive to remove the rust, and then wipe down with our Axe-Guard Head Oil. Axe-Guard is a metal protecting and rust preventative oil, and the residue is safe for contact on leather, wood, or skin.
• MADE IN GERMANY - The Düsseldorf is a heavy duty gravel rake for harder soil jobs, and is useful for raking gravels, soils, and debris. Manufactured by hand as they were 100 years ago, Idealspaten is the only industrial manufacturer of landscape tools in Germany. Made of premium quality high performing tempered steel that was specially hardened making any work with this tool almost effortless. For proper technique stand firm on the ground with both feet and plant the weight of your body.
• THE OILED HANDLE FINISH will protect the wood against the elements and moisture, and from drying out over time. When neglected, a handle is more likely to dry out, become brittle, and crack. Proper care will significantly prolong the handle’s life. Our handles are linseed oil finished for long term protection. Over time, as this finish diminishes with use, it's best to sand it down smooth and apply a new finish ensuring the handle stays healthy, flexible, and retains a proper moisture level.
