I don't have much practical experience, but lots of theoretical knowledge....This tool looks like the real deal and has an endorsement from Sepp himself. I don't think one can go wrong ordering the set at $21 + shipping!



Thank you for your kind words, Monica!

Lots going on in our lives the past few years... Still intrigued by the 'mini scythe' alternative use and would love to get feedback from anyone who went that route. As small as they are, obviously would be used one handed. Would a sling blade handle work?


Dear William, please read my reply to Dan - above. And yes, it can be used by one handed.

The flat cutter looks amazing, especially the extra beefy one.

I really want one. But the thing is, I am leery to buy from Russia right now, especially after seeing the one post about never getting the one they ordered. It can't be the best time to ship between our two countries...



Dear Dan, yes, sometimes it happens when the parcel is lost or returned back for some reason, it is about 1% of the total number of parcels shipped. The problem with Canada is that Canada post don't provide proper tracking of the parcels sent from Russia. At the same time we never had any problem with delivering parcels to the USA, and USPS always provide proper tracking for all parcels sent from Russia.

As a matter of fact Vladimir Fokin, the inventor of Russian flat-cutter became disabled after a heart attack in 1987. So he designed this tool to help him work in the garden without putting too much efforts. He tried many different options and it took him 12 years to design and make a prototype of the current version of flat-cutter.

Yes, of course, here are the video for round-shaped flat-cutter:

And for miracle-spade (super-spade), which is actually a broadfork tool:
