Default The New C and S digging Tool

I figured I would post some pictures of the new digging tools I have made up. I went with a new design after doing a ton of field work with the Blade. The Blades are 9 inches long, 2 inches wide. The base are also 2 inches. These will be the primary tool I will make, They cut through roots like butter! The price of these digging tools are 30.00 shipped. It takes me around 2 hours to complete one of these digging tools from start to finish, and They have a lifetime guarantee, If it breaks I will fix it or replace it.

I made the tool more compact and made a small improvement to the grooves in the blade, its lighter and with the improvement in the blade, it will cut through a root like butter , DEAD SERIOUS!!!

Hey Charlie, I got the digger yesterday and man what a nice tool, can't wait to use it, you are very talented in metal work. I'm going today and get a handle for it to fit my hand because there on the big side. Thanks again for such a fine tool and I may be getting another on from you because I like to have one as a back up and for a partner. Thanks again and God bless!
Tim

That's a mean looking tool. Might have to try one. You could definately take care of any mountain lions or bears that messed with you as well as dig treasure. Nice work.

Charlie, those tools look great! I know I will have to try one of those! Hmmm, perhaps some bartering will be in order!
