Rogue Hoe 7 Inch Wide Blade Heavy Duty Garden Cultivator Field Cotton Hoe Tool

This is quite simply the finest hoe I have ever used. Let's start with the fact that it is aesthetically pleasing. Not a necessity, but certainly a bonus. The construction is such that someone who looks at most tools and says "They don't make 'em like they used to," would smile and say "Sometimes they do!" It's good and stout and I can't imagine how you'd go about breaking it through normal use. The edge is good and sharp, and I really like the way the edge is ground up the sides of the blade as well, makes it easy to rotate the hoe in your hands a bit and strike a more pointed digging blow where it is needed. This hoe is heavier than most hoes I have used, and I was concerned that it might wear me out too quickly during usage, but it slices through weeds and brush so easily, that one can accomplish in one swing what might take 2 or 3 swings with a lesser tool. One of my favorite things about it is the nice long handle. I have had such difficulty finding tools that don't require a slight stoop in order to use, and this one allows me to use it from a completely upright position, making it much easier on my back during a long work session. It's perfect for large scale weeding, even taking out blackberries easily. Does great in the garden as well as the field,making easy work of mounding and furrows. I recommend this hoe most highly. I wish I had found it sooner. Well worth the price.

I had to think long and hard about spending the money for this hoe. But I'm sick of crappy tools that bend, break and don't do the job. So I decided to go for this one. Holy moly, what a hoe! It's great. It's super strong, sturdy, and the blade is very sharp - so beware! I love that the blade is wider and bigger than the normal hoe you get at the hardware store. The blade is much thicker, sharper, and wider. I LOVE it. In fact, when my neighbor wanted to borrow it, I grabbed it and said, "NOPE!". I won't lend this awesome tool to anyone. I was able to clean up my flower garden with hardly any effort since the blade is so sharp and well-designed. This was sooooo worth the cost. Now I finally see why buying quality tools is worth it. I guard this hoe like I would my wallet. It came well packaged with the blade covered by thick cardboard. It's worth noting, be very careful with the blade. It's far sharper than cheapo hoes you normally buy. This thing is a work of art and I'm sure it will last as long as I do. I'm glad I spent the money for it. I'm planning to do a garden next spring and I'll use this. I have no doubt this will take out grass with very little effort. Work smarter, not harder! This hoe does that for you.

Best hoe ever. Perfectly balanced. Great quality. Should last a lifetime so well worth the money.

Replaced a very cheap hoe with a fiberglass handle...I enjoy the weight and balance of this hoe; plus, a very sharp edge...well made tool!

I think the tool is great. Made quick work of my overly weedy garden. Was like a cross of a sledge hammer and a razor blade. But the tool from end to end is 40 inches. Which is pretty short for a hoe which made it a little difficult to use. I’m five foot so it only required a little hunching to use, but I would have liked a little more length to make it easier on my back. But it was still less tiring then using the sad excuses they call hoes from other places. So because it has more the length of an ax then a hoe, I give it 4 stars. But it definitely will make quick work of anything you need it too.

used this to grade out/ skim crabgrass (mid-Atlantic region) that overtook are of yard. EASILY tears through roots and skim about 2-3 inches of dirt without "digging". Left ground root free and allowed me to plant sod, which quickly rooted and grew well. Hard work (end of August) but cleared out area 300 s.f. in about 2 hours.

The Rogue hoe is not a flimsy department store it'll-do China product. This is for people who are serious, demand quality - quality that will last a lifetime. This is the third Rogue hoe I have purchased. The first for myself, and the 2nd one and this one as gifts. The blade comes sharp. The thickness ensures heft, significant blade edge, with enough material to sharpen with a file many times. My preference is to remove the varnish from the wood handle and initially apply boiled linseed oil several times, and then annually thereafter to hydrate and protect the handle for many years. That also give the handle a rich dark wood tone. It works like other hoes except the heft allows you to cut through clay or roots easily and you don't feel like you have to baby it. Definitely recommend. If you were ever put into a position of having to grow your garden to meet your family's food needs, you would want a tool like this and not that imported crap - I guarantee it.
