Troubleshooting

Blade feels dull or has lost its cutting edge.

The stainless steel blade can be sharpened using a metal file or sharpening stone. Ensure consistent strokes to maintain the edge.

Wooden handle shows signs of drying or cracking.

Apply a suitable wood conditioner or linseed oil to the handle and allow it to soak in. Store in a stable, dry environment.

Try working the soil when it is slightly moist, as this will reduce the effort required. Ensure you are using steady body weight when pushing the blade in.
