I am relatively new at detecting but have a major addiction to quality tools. As a mechanic I constantly upgrade my tools to "better" models.
So after starting with the ebay lesche knockoff I bought a Model 31(c) Raptor. For me this is a direct replacement to a full length shovel. It's hefty and very well made but only cuts by being plunged into the ground. It scoops out a lot of dirt and is ideal for sod cutting and deep holes. No easy way to cut roots.
Now I see on another forum a Japanese hori hori garden knife, Model DSR-1K6. I can not ignore the shinny blade, razor sharpness, mention or rockwell hardness and of coarse "Special Edition". Now I have one on the way.
Did I mention I have a spear head spade as well ?
