Faithfull Countryman Border Spade
The Faithfull Countryman Border Spade is a compact digging tool designed for working in confined spaces where a full-size spade would be impractical. With a reduced blade size of 150 x 240mm and 1000mm overall length, this border spade excels in established garden borders, vegetable patches and flower beds where precision matters. The spade features a heat-treated carbon steel head that delivers exceptional strength and durability for demanding soil conditions. A protective powder-coated finish guards against rust, scratches, humidity and alkaloids commonly found in garden soils, extending the working life of the tool. Built with a double-riveted European Ash shaft sourced from FSC® sustainable forests, the handle is lacquered to resist weather damage and fitted with an ergonomic soft grip. The D-handle design incorporates angled hilts that maintain the hand in a natural position, reducing strain on the wrist whilst positioning the blade at an optimal digging angle to minimise back stress during prolonged use. The lighter weight and compact dimensions make this border spade particularly suitable for gardeners who find full-size tools unwieldy, as well as for planting smaller shrubs and working around established plants.
