Hoes and claws

Hoes and claws

Hand-forged gardening tools

Two-handed Hoes

A LIGHT WEED HOE, STAINLESS STEEL


Low-maintenance:
Weighing just over one kilogram, this

advantage when working in densely


planted beds. Stainless steel.

D PLANTING HOE, cARBON STEEL


WITH cOILED HANDLE
An effective tool for large vegetable plots:
For drawing furrows. Its light weight
and the wide blade allow to turn over
much soil with little effort. The handle
made of untreated Japanese oak has a

coiled structure which ensures a secure,


comfortable grip with each hand position.
Blade 265 x 125 mm
Overall length 1200 mm
Weight 1200 g
No. 718299
58.74 69.90
Surcharge for bulky goods.

They can be sharpened on waterstones.


Even though carbon steel is not rust
free, sharpest edges are possible while
sharpening is done with ease.
We recommend storing the gardening
tools in a dry place, and oiling them
slightly if they are unused for an
extended period (e.g. with Japanese
rust-protection oil, No. 711541).
For sharpening, we recommend Japanese waterstones and DMT diamond
stones. More care and expense is
needed when using hand-forged tools
but the joy created while working with
them is every bit worth the effort.

Extraordinary grip due to the coiled


handle structure.

E 3-PRONGED HOE, cARBON STEEL


WITH cOILED HANDLE
Robust hoe for breaking up soil. The
comparatively flat angle between blade

traditional techniques.

Baack Spades

Baack Spaten has been forging spades from a single piece of the best
carbon steel in the tradition of the old masters since 1878. More than
150 hammer strikes produce a highly compact steel and thus a spade

enjoy a unique reputation among professionals
from tree nurseries, the garden and landscaping
trade as well as underground engineering.

japanese Stainless Steel Garden Tools

These elegant stainless steel garden tools are made exclusively for our customers in Japanese master workshops. They are completely made of rustproof stainless-steel and very easy to look after. Thanks to the polished
surface, dirt and soil does not cling to the tools. The shovels and forks are hardened and therefore extremely
wear-resistant. The head, shaft and handle are precisely welded together, hand-ground and polished. The broad
D-handles guarantee that they will be comfortable to hold.

Ergonomic use of spades, forks and shovels


Spades and forks:
Stand with your feet slightly staggered as close
as possible to the spade / fork. Place one foot
on the top edge of the blade / fork in order to
put all your body weight on it. After pressing the
blade / fork down, keep your back straight and
your knees slightly bent as you lift the earth out.

E BARNEL TREE cARRIER


Patented carrier for easy transplanting
of root balls. The robust construction
consists of galvanised steel cables, which
are normally used in aircraft construction
due to the extra-tearproof individual
wires. For your comfort, the steel cables
are jacketed in strong, textured rubber
sleeves on both handles.

Weight 1.2 kg
No. 718258
33.53 39.90

Shovels:
Stand with your feet hip width apart and bend
your knees slightly, keeping your back straight.
One foot should be placed slightly further
forward. When filling the shovel with earth, hold
onto the top part of the shovel handle (above
centre) so your back stays as straight as possible.
To lift the filled shovel, slide your hands further
down the handle to minimise the lever effect.
Your knees should remain slightly bent. As you

gently with minimal effort. cleanly cut plant fibres heal more quickly and protect the plant from infections.
This enhances plant growth and vitalises the plants.

Many manufacturers indicate the
maximum branch thickness for which
a pruner or lopper is suitable. But often
they only consider the opening of the
tool, which will not keep this promise
in practice. We test all the shears,
pruners and loppers in our range,
independently of the manufacturers
specifications, with respect to the
possible branch diameter and indicate
these values as the maximum branch
thickness for each product. We apply
criteria such as the function of the tool,
the cut surface as well as the required
effort resulting from the leverage. We
test cutting on both fresh and dead wood and on different wood types.

Two-handed pruners vs. pruning saw


Why do I need a two-handed pruner if I have a pruning saw?
A pruning saw is an excellent tool for cutting branches with a diameter of about
50 mm or more. If the branch is thinner, it often moves quite a bit and is difficult
to cut. One-handed garden shears, meanwhile, only cut branches up to 25 mm in
diameter. The two-handed pruner exactly fills the gap, allowing clean cutting of
branches with diameters of 25 - 50 mm. Also, the normally long handles of twohanded pruners make many branches easier to reach.

A BARNEL TWO-HANDED
PRUNING SHEARS
Powerful performance:
The jaws of these extra light loppers are
drop forged and therefore have a very
fine and uniform metal structure. An
oiler makes it easy to apply oil to the
cutting edges. Together with a special
hardened bolt this cutting mechanism is
almost indestructible and cuts branches
up to 35 mm with ease. Two light handles
which are torsion-resistant through an

oval shaped chamber system, are made


of high quality aluminium. A dampener
minimises the shock load after the cutting and a juice rim at the anvil prevents
the blades from sticking together. The
hand rest on the handle is covered with
high quality, easy to clean rubber which
offers a good grip. The blade, anvil, bolt
and the handles can be ordered separately and are replaced easily.

Two-hand Garden Shears

Hedge Shears
japanese Hedge Shears

In traditional Japanese gardens, topiary is often used to enliven and give structure. Therefore, Japanese hedge
shears are perfectly adapted to topiary hedge cutting, in terms of both function and balance. The often long
carbon steel blades, which are difficult to forge, are extremely sharp and wear-resistant.

Sharpening hedge shears


Take the shears apart and sharpen
only the blade facet on the bevelled
side (front), and not on the concave
backside! Never sharpen the highquality hardened tool on a bench
grinder, as the hardness and life are
adversely affected by overheating!
If you wish, you can call upon our

With us you get the originals


As one of the largest supplier of Japanese handicraft tools with more than 20 years of
experience, we have the highest quality standards for every Japanese saw that leaves our
company. The saws that we offer are manufactured exclusively in leading Japanese
master blacksmiths workshops. Saws with interchangeable blades are manufactured
on high-precision machines, and saws with permanent blades in traditional small
workshops. The quality of these tools fundamentally differs in many respects from
inexpensive chinese or Taiwanese imports which sometimes have a similar appearance. More than 20 testing processes during manufacture, for example the microscopic
final inspection of every saw blade or the manual sawing test (spot checks of each
shipment), are followed by a 100% check of incoming goods in our company.
Your benefit: You purchase a top product guaranteed to be 100% fault-free!
And our responsibility does not end with selling the saw. The supply of replacement
parts is also ensured over the long term.

Promoting wound healing when pruning fruit trees


B SILKY GOMTARO
Professional pruning saw for thinning
out fruit trees and decorative trees and
shrubs. To prevent the bark from tearing
when cutting off heavy branches, you
first make a cut on the underside of
the branch. Thanks to the teeth on the
back of the blade, you can make these
cuts from underneath without having to
change the position of the saw in your
hand or its direction. comes in durable
plastic sheath.

When a branch is cut off a tree, this creates a relatively big wound on the trunk.
The tree tries to close this wound with special wound tissue. The larger the
wound, the rougher the cut surface and the younger the tree, the longer this
overgrowth process takes. In the case of very large wounds, it can take years.
During this time, the part of the cut surface that is not yet overgrown is not
protected against fungi and pests that destroy wood.
Fruit trees are particularly vulnerable.

Saw blade hard chrome plated and


thus rustproof
Taper-ground blade with no additionally
set teeth:
Allows cutting with little friction
Creates the cleanest cuts - lets water
run off quickly, preventing rotting
Special raker teeth:

teeth, thus increasing the edge life
Prevent clogging

1. Use the right saw. The larger the set (alternate bending of the
teeth to the right and left) of a saw, the larger the ridges and
scratches on the cut surface. This results in a greater exposed
surface and water can accumulate between the ridges, which
may later cause rotting. consequently, saws with very slightly
set or unset teeth are ideal for pruning fruit trees (see pictogram fruit tree pruning).

A video showing the use of the


Silky Gomtaros special teeth is
available online.
www.dictum.com

2. The branch should be cut at the collar. cutting at the branch


collar means that you should not cut the branch flush with the
trunk but leave the branch collar intact, as the tissue there is
particularly active. However, you should never leave a stub on
the trunk, as this hinders or even prevents wound overgrowth.

3. In particular, dormant pruning in winter makes it


more difficult for the tree to close the cut surfaces
with wound tissue. It is recommended that you apply
special wound sealants such as tree waxes or tars to
the cut surfaces.

A BARNEL DOUBLE-EDGE
FOREST SAW
Large robust saw for cutting thick branches and felling small trees. To prevent
the bark from tearing when cutting off
heavy branches, you first make a cut on

the teeth on the back of the blade, you
can make these cuts from underneath
without having to change the position of
the saw in your hand or its direction. A
large D handle provides a comfortable
grip with work gloves. The unset raker
teeth with wide spacing reduce the
cutting force on the other teeth, thus
increasing the edge life and preventing
the saw cut from clogging. Hard-chromed
(rustproof) blade with impulse-hardened
teeth for increased wear resistance.

frame saws
and classic
European
hand saws
have always
been the traditional saws used for
gardening work. These saws cut on

Sawing technique for heavy branches


When sawing off thick, heavy branches, you should first take the pressure off the
branch before you cut it off close to the trunk. Otherwise, in the worst case, the
weight of the branch may cause the bark on the trunk to tear during sawing. You
can avoid this with a simple cutting technique:
1. Make a cut with the saw on the
underside of the branch about 30 cm
away from the trunk. (Do not cut too
deep, as otherwise the saw may get
stuck in the kerf because of the
weight of the branch.)
2. Make a cut with the saw on the top of the branch, same distance from the trunk.
(Its own weight should cause the branch to break off in a controlled manner.)
3. Now you can make the final cut at the trunk without pressure from the branch.

content: The comeback of mowing


with a scythe keeps your body and the
environment fit. An increasing number of
hobby gardeners are enjoying that smell
of freshly cut grass. Handling a scythe is
a skill that requires some practice. The
course starts out with whetting the blade
using the whetting anvil, sharpening it
with a whetstone, adjusting the snath,
and it ends with mowing practices.
You may bring your own scythe. It is
also possible to purchase high-quality
scythes and blades during the course.

DVD: ScYTHING TEcHNIqUES


In this introduction, scythe-master Ernst
Schoiswohl and canadian organic farmer
Peter Vido, teach knowledge which has
virtually been forgotten. From adjusting
the snath, body position when mowing,
to peening and honing the blade, viewers
will learn everything they need to know
about working with scythes.

Mowing keeps fit:


Mowing with a
scythe is not only
an environmentally
friendly alternative
to lawnmowers, but
also perfect exercise.
The rhythmic mowing
movements train your
arms and upper body,
the silence and the
aroma of freshlymown grass have an
almost meditative
effect. A must-have
for uninterrupted
enjoyment is a
well-balanced scythe
which retains its
sharpness for a long
time.

Hard clippings - thick edge - abrasive grindstone


A thick edge is more robust and can also withstand woody tree
shoots. Nevertheless, the cutting edge is subject to heavier wear
owing to the hard grasses and should therefore be worked on with
an abrasive whetstone (No. 711304, No. 711305, No. 711311).
Soft clippings - thin edge - hard grindstone
For soft cuttings, you need an extremely sharp edge. A thin edge
is easier to sharpen, providing the greatest possible degree of sharpness. A hard grindstone straightens up the edge, which is often only
slightly bent from working in soft grasses (principle of a sharpening
steel). Since the edge itself is not subject to heavy wear, it only
needs to be sharpened to a limited extent during honing
(No. 705582, No. 711312).

H PEENING ANVIL, WITH STOPPER


Peening made easy:
Peening makes the cutting edge of
scythe and sickle blades thinner, harder
and easier to sharpen. But peening is
quite a challenge. A well balanced blow
with the hammer, an even feed motion
and a precise positioning of the blade
on the anvil are required. All demand a
lot of practise. This peening anvil solves
this problem. The blade is placed on an
adjustable support plate. A depth stop
makes sure that the blade is exactly
positioned on the curved anvil.

I PEENING ANVIL
Die-forged steel anvil with a polished
face for peening scythes and a horn for
fastening on wooden blocks. The scythe
blade is laid on the anvil, the cutting
edge is peened with the hammer. For detailed instructions on peening scythes,
we recommend the DVD Scything
Techniques (No. 713752).

area is hardened to a depth of 3 cm to

If the face of the anvil is rounded, use a hammer with


a straight, slightly curved striking surface. If the face of
the anvil is straight and slightly curved, use a hammer
with a rounded peen. The head weight of the hammer
should lie between 500 and 600 g. The heavier the
hammer, the easier it will be to shape the material. We
recommend you start with a 500 g hammer as beginners
generally lack accuracy.

Splitting Wedges and Accessories


A SAFETY SPLITTING WEDGE, MADE OUT OF ALUMINIUM
In former times axes were used to cut down trees, but nowadays these have been replaced by chain saws. This rapid development
also affected splitting wedges. The oldest models, usually made of wood, have been replaced by low-wear splitting wedges made
of steel. Now engineering has taken another step: Safety splitting wedges are made from extremely impact-resistant, forged aluminium. They do not splinter and are no risk for chain saws. At the same time they are very light and protected against corrosion.

A
1
1 Twisted Splitting Wedge with Tip
Because of its twisted shape, the wedge
angle enlarges while the wedge is being
knocked in. This results in higher splitting
forces. The tip is easily applied to the wood
and forces itself in. Grooves on the side of
the wedge bite into the wood and therefore prevent the wedge from recoiling.

King / Sun Tiger

Matsunaga is one of the largest


manufacturers of sharpening stones
in Japan. In the West, these stones
are usually known as King stones
or Sun Tiger stones. The stones of
the King or Sun Tiger series have a
relatively soft bond, which allows
the abrasives to be continually exposed during use, making the stone
highly effective. These stones are
particularly suitable for extremely
hard, low-alloy carbon steels (White
and Blue Paper Steel).

DMT Diamond Stones

The US-based company Diamond Machining Technology, (DMT) is the


leading manufacturer of quality diamond sharpening stones. DMT tools
are precision manufactured, highly wear resistant and extremely effective.
The monocrystalline diamonds*, permanently embedded in a nickel
matrix, guarantee remarkable sharpening speed even when working the
hardest tool steels. The diamond-coated blocks remain permanently plane,
and are especially suitable for tools with straight blades as well as for
producing plane surfaces (e.g. backs of plane and chisel blades, plane
soles, scrapers). Also suitable for carbide coated cutters, HSS, as well as
non-metal materials (glass, ceramic etc.). We recommend moistening the
DMT stones with water and grinding with little pressure.

How to sharpen Pruning Shears


and Scissors
If possible, pruning shears and scissors
should be disassembled before sharpening. Only the bevels (facets) are worked
on both blades (upper and lower). Use
the coarse (blue) DMT mini-hone for
rough corrections or to remove nicks
from the blade. Use the fine (red)
mini-hone for finishing.

A LIGNEA, TUNG OIL


High-quality natural oil for indoor and
outdoor use: Lignea,
the oil obtained from
the fruits of the tung
tree, has many uses
both indoors and out,
e.g. for indoor and outdoor furniture, decks, flooring, turned items,
musical instruments, wooden toys and
wooden boats and can be used for impregnating fabrics and even masonry. Tung oil
is absorbed by wooden surfaces very quickly
and hardens them after it has dried, making
them mechanically stronger and highly
water-resistant. It provides approximately
twice as much protection as linseed oil.
It deepens colours and enhances the contrast of the grain, but the wood retains its
natural visual and tactile characteristics.
The protective film is elastic, even in the
long term, and, in contrast to linseed oil,
darkens very little. If the finish becomes
damaged, it can be easily retouched by
rubbing more oil over the damaged area.
Lignea can be applied without any problems, even in multiple coats, using either
a brush or a piece of cloth, and can be
thinned with turpentine or mixed with other
vegetable oils (e.g. linseed or camellia
oil) depending on the users preference.

Organic Swedish Linseed Oil


cold-pressed from linseeds, this hardening oil is for the ecological protection of
wood. Highly transparent, chemical-free
and food safe with only
minimal odour. Linolja
can be used directly in its pure form. It
is also suitable for producing linseed-oil
paint (with iron oxide pigment), as well
as mixed with tar oil for use outdoors.

Pine Tar
One of the oldest wood preservatives,
ideal as paintwork for houses, shingles,
fences, equipment, sleds and boats.
This wood tar obtained by the pyrolysis
and careful distillation of resin-rich pine
rootstock. Because of its long drying
time, it penetrates deep into the wood,
lends it a beautiful patina, and gives it
lasting protection against the effects of
weather. The pine tar can be diluted with
turpentine oil or linseed oil. Because of
its strongly smoky aroma, we only recommend it for use outdoors.

E DALBRND TJRA FINE PINE TAR


Intensive protection against UV radiation

Tips: Tung oil in both its pure and liquid form has a distinctive smell that disappears after drying or when mixed with either orange oil or balsam oil of turpentine.
Because of its odour, we do not recommend it for cupboard interiors. The tung
oil offered here is ecologically sound. It is not pre-oxidized, nor is it mixed with
chemical drying agents. consequently, it takes up to three weeks to become dry.
(Drying times vary considerably depending on the environmental conditions, type
of wood and preparation of the surface.) Once dry, the oils film is chemically
stable and free of dangerous emissions. Pure tung oil is relatively viscous, but its
ability to penetrate can be improved by thinning with balsam oil of turpentine
(No. 705288) or by warming.

H TURPENTINE OIL
Solvent with ethereal aroma:
One of the most valuable
solvents on a natural
basis, ideal for thinning
vegetable oils, oil paints
and varnishes as well as
for making glazes and
polishes with resins,
waxes or pigments. This low-viscosity oil,
obtained by double-distilling the resin of
the maritime pine tree, is colourless and
has a fresh, ethereal aroma.

G SWEDISH RED,
IRON OxIDE PIGMENT
The classic wood preserving paint:
It determines the appearance of the landscape of Sweden: The warm, russet colour of the wooden facades of the barns,

wood preservative. The pollutant-free
iron oxide pigment (unleaded) can easily
be processed in aqueous solution or in

Linseed oil varnish manufacturing process


Boiling linseed oil initiates a polymerisation process in which the oil thickens
slightly. This process is halted when the oil cools down and by the airtight atmosphere (packaging), and resumed when the oil is actually applied to the wood. The
process then continues and the oil dries faster. Depending on the original quality
of the linseed oil and how long and hot the oil was boiled, it is either still thin and
fluid or becomes brittle relatively quickly after being applied. When siccatives are
mixed with the oil in the boiling process, we call the result linseed oil varnish.
Here too, the amount and type of drying agent determines the drying time, but
also the environmental impact.

Ideal varnish for mixing house or

The varnish is made of high-quality

ensures a stainless finish even in changing weather. To protect against mildew
and rot that mainly forms because of
the mucilage in the linseed oil, our oil
is degummed before further processing.

Linseed oil paints


Linseed oil paint has a long and proven tradition as an interior and exterior paint.
It has the following excellent properties:
100% natural ingredients
Vapour permeable - the wood can
breathe
Can be applied to oiled and
already painted surfaces
Stabilises the surface
Natural UV protection
Is absorbed by the wood, thus prevents
unwanted formation of layers and
peeling off (frequent long-term reaction
with industrial paint products)
Long shelf life - can still be
used after long storage

For our linseed oil varnishes, we only use seasoned


and thus degummed, cold-pressed linseed oil that was
boiled gently and thus achieves good penetration and
quick drying. The manganese siccatives used for the
linseed oil varnish are among the most environmentally
compatible drying agents and their addition is strictly
controlled.
tion, we add a small amount of IPBc
fungicide to the varnish. With linseed
oil pastes with a high zinc content and
thus natural anti-fungal protection,
the linseed oil varnish can also be used
without fungicides for exterior use. Zinc
also provides longer-lasting anti-fungal
protection. Because of its clear colour,
linseed oil varnish itself does not provide
any UV protection and thus can only
be used outdoors in combination with
linseed oil pastes.

recipes for different
purposes. The

Exterior use

Interior use

Choice of colour
For exterior use it is advisable to use
light colours, as darker colours attract
the heat in the sunny season.
This causes:
Faster decomposition of the oil,
so it needs freshening up more
frequently
Cracks and warps in the wood and
therefore damage to the surface
Protection against fungi
The higher the zinc content in a pigment,
the better the paint inhibits fungal
growth. This is important for the choice
of colour for exterior use. The zinc content is specified in the product information on the pastes. When mixing paints with
a low share of zinc, you should add linseed oil varnish with fungicide additive.
UV protection
UV protection, which is not provided with raw, cold-bleached or boiled linseed oil
or varnish in its pure form, is generally achieved by adding colour pigments.
Mixing components
Because painting outdoors is heavily dependent on the weather and long drying
times can become a problem, we recommend using linseed oil varnish or oil
lacquer as the basis for exterior use. Oil lacquer is only slightly absorbed by the
wood and, unlike linseed oil varnish, forms a coating layer. Parts that are subject
to strongly fluctuating wood moisture, such as windows and doors, should therefore
preferably be treated with varnish. You can also mix pine tar with the linseed oil
pastes to obtain a different shade.

Choice of colour
For interior use you can use any colour.
Mixing components
Suitable mixing components are raw,
cold-bleached or boiled linseed oil, oil
lacquer or varnish. Do not use linseed oil
varnish with fungicides for interior use,
as these can still evaporate even after a
long time.

Linseed oil paints on metal


Choice of colour
Linseed oil paint is also an ideal base
coat for rust-proofing metal parts. For
this purpose, we especially recommend
Haematite Red Lead and Graphite. Both
colours provide excellent rust protection.
Mixing components
To ensure that the base coat is thoroughly
absorbed by the metal, we recommend
using linseed oil. For the second and
third coat, you should use oil varnish
(Le Tonkinois, No. 810087) to seal the
surface permanently against penetrating
water. Please find a detailed description

C DRYING AGENT FOR


LINSEED OIL PAINTS
Depending on whether you mix linseed
oil paints with raw, cold-bleached or
boiled linseed oil or oil varnish, they
have different drying times that may
extend to several days. Adding this
drying agent (siccative) based on
unleaded cobalt allows you to apply
the next coating of linseed oil paint
after only a few hours of drying.
For information on mix ratios, see the
detailed instructions for use that come
with the product.

D
D LINSEED
OIL SOAP
Linseed oil soap is
made of natural
linseed oil and is
ideal for cleaning
brushes used to apply
oils and oil-based paints. Simply soak
the brush in pure linseed oil soap and
later thoroughly rinse it with water. You
can also clean untreated wooden floors
by moistening them and then working in
the concentrated linseed oil soap. After
this, however, they cannot be coated with
oil. Diluted with water (1 l water / 10 ml
soap), the soap can also be used to clean
stone floors.

two hardwood handles provide a comfortable grip, while the domed lid prevents

spillage when watering. Galvanised and

Woolpower

Woolpower AB was established in


1969 in stersund, Sweden, for
the production of nylon tights.
In the early 1970s, the company
developed a new material in collaboration with the Swedish army:
Ullfrott Original. Beside military
and police organizations, mainly
people who work outside and many
others who like to feel warm are
among the customers for clothes
made of this fibre.

Woolpower articles are certified


by ko-Tex - an
international
human ecology label that shows
that the garments contain
no toxic or harmful substances
Wool does not retain odor and
therefore the clothes keep a
pleasant smell even after long
periods of use

Can be machine-washed at up to
60 c (104 F) and tumble tried
at medium heat
Made in Sweden. Each garment
is labelled with the name of the
seamstress

Woolpower Ullfrott Original

Unisex thermal underwear for hunting,


handicrafts, and outdoor activities
Ullfrott Original is a fabric made of
two-thirds fine Merino wool and onethird synthetic fibers, thus guaranteeing optimum elasticity and durability

and forms of activity

Most Ullfrott Original products


are manufactured on circular knitting
machines. The advantage of this technology is that the garments worn next
to the skin only have minimal seams,
which results in a very comfortable fit

Different material thicknesses are


available (200 g/m, 400 g/m and
600 g/m) and can be combined to
ideally suit different temperatures

Merino wool does not itch:


The wool of Merinos is very finely
crimped. When wool fibers are so
thin, they will yield to the skin
on contact and therefore not
irritate the nerves (no annoying
itching). Ullfrott Original
is made exclusively from fine
Merino wool with a fiber
thickness of 22 microns, so it
provides maximum comfort.

During increased activity level or in


high ambient temperature, the body
generates perspiration to cool down.
Wool is hygroscopic, i.e. it is able to
absorb moisture from the air, and in
this way it also absorbs the moisture
vapor from the body. It can absorb up
to 30 % of its weight without feeling
damp.

and accordingly either cools or warms
the body. The integrated polyamide fibres make the underwear more durable.
