Galen Lehman, Proprietor, says, "My longtime Amish acquaintance, Melvin, makes these hoes. I took the first prototype we got from him (some 20 years ago) home with me to test. Im still using it! Melvins secret is that he uses those giant circular buzz saw blades from lumber mills to make his hoe blades. If it cuts hardwood without getting dull, you know it will slice through the dirt. And, I love the extra wide blade because it cuts down on the time required. Its great for hilling potatoes, too!"
