I added a handle on the side, because I was finding myself actually pushing down on the top of the blade with my left hand when I was digging into this tough valley clay. I was also getting a callous in the palm of my right hand, so I used a hole saw to cut a hole into a racquetball and slid it over the grip. This trowel is comfortable and flat out digs. I put a new edge on it every few weeks.
