Can the Fokin hoe be used with one hand? The left one?

I have a good friend who lost his right arm and has recently bought some land that he wants to tend as well as he can.

Is it possible to use the Fokin hoe with just the left hand? If so, I think it would be a perfect tool for him.

This hoe is sharpened on all sides, so yes, your friend would be able to use it.

I wish I had one myself. It would be a welcome tool ! Have your friend watch the video about it.
