Wilkinson sword border fork.
The Wilkinson sword border fork I have has a lifetimes guarantee. I have had mine a few years now but if I were to buy it today the RRP is£ 33.46 on offer sale at many shops http://www.choiceful.com/choiceful is selling for £25.35 http://www.tool-up.co.uk is selling for r £24.99 .
Wilkinson sword make good tools The company that made swords in 1722 developed their business to make gardening tools. I trust the name Wilkinson Sword to make a good product.
I use my Wilkinson sword border fork more than I do the larger digging fork. This fork has a traditional wooden shaft. This is made of beech wood from FSC certified forests. The green coloured handle is a Y /D shape made from moulded polypropylene. This handle is quite comfortable to hold. Much better than some other fork and spade handles I have held. I can use this fork for quite a time before I need to rest my hands from the handle.
The business parts of the fork there are 4 tynes/prongs with a long metal shaft which attaches to the wooden shaft. The tynes/prongs are made from stainless steel. I find the prongs penetrate my soil easily and the soil does not stick to them. My chalk soil does not stick so much but my dads Cambridgeshire clay soil is very sticky its easier to dig with a fork. The polished stainless steel prevents the tynes/prongs from rusting. This head is not as wide as the head of a digging fork.
I will be using this border fork this weekend forking around my shrubs and the front of my border where I wish to plant some bedding plants. I find this fork ideal for this purpose as it is not too big and unwieldy. I find it is my tool of choice in a space restricted area. It will lightly turn over my soil breaking down big clods.
I use a fork on my vegetable garden after I have dug it over with a spade as a fork will break the soil down easier. I do not use my border fork if digging up bulbs or potatoes as I often find I will spear them. This fork could also be used to aerate lawns like my old dad did. A heavily used lawn or one on clay soil will benefit from this.
I like my Spear and Jackson border fork it is quite light its handy for lots of forking jobs in the garden .
