I'm interested in picking up a few gardening tools for next season (digging fork, spade, compost fork, leaf rake, etc.). I try to embrace the "buy it for life" philosophy, and don't mind paying a bit more for high quality, durable products made by experienced craftsmen. In my search I came across the Dutch company Sneeboer and Zn :
https://www.sneeboer.com/en-us/ , who have a collection of hand-forged tools.
I've heard good things about them, but was wondering if anyone had any hands-on experience with their tools. Is there high price justified?
Does anyone have any other recommendations? I've heard Spears & Jackson (
https://www.spear-and-jackson.com ) Neverbend Carbon spades and forks are even tougher than stainless steel. And Burgon & Ball (
https://www.burgonandball.com/ ) have good offerings at a much lower price point.
Any first hand experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.
