I like things that are multi-purpose - anyone actually seen/ used one of these?

I've seen and handled one. It looks like a knife and is curved like you'd expect a trowel to be.

I'd happily use it as a trowel ~ but there are cheaper and lighter alternatives for travel use.

Yup, I've had one for years. One tough tool. Very well made.

Had one for several years too.
I mislaid mine on my allotment in summer 2010 and found it in the compost when I turned it a few weeks back. Still going strong

Sounds just the thing for my Dad then - he's hell on tools, he's got a collection of 3 tined garden forks & broken spades...

Cheers folks.

I have one - but it could be in the compost heap as above ... mine is plastic handled and stainless so it should survive
My wife just bought another for a friend
