- Description
- A cultivator hoe with a wooden handle. The cultivator hoe has two hooked, digging blades that end in sharp points. Each blade is attached to either side of the handle with two nuts and bolts. A third nut and bolt holds the two tines together just below the handle. The two blades have drilled holes near the top of the curve of the blades. A piece of thick wire is threaded through holes and the wire is curled at each end to hold it in place. The blade edges splay outwards into a V-shape. The handle shaft is elongated and squared.
