This hoe has been used mostly for digging ginseng… 10k + root harvested with that little hoe the past 14 years or so.
I use it in the garden occasionally.
Found it hanging on a nail in my father’s shed after he passed away and I put that hickory handle in it myself.
It has made a few rattlers and copperheads… headless.
Climbed many a steep hill using it as a walking stick. It is famous… or at least on youtube with a few views.
Could not part with it.
How to get the whole root.
