These De Wit hand tools are a great mid-length tool for properly getting in between those border plants - giving you better accessibility than a cumbersome digging/border spade but more leverage than a normal hand trowel or fork. The cutting edges are sharp (unlike most hand spades you'll find) and the handle is made from solid Ash wood.
Long Handle Trowel:

Long Handle Fork:

De Wit tools are hand made in Holland using Swedish Boron steel - the same steel used on bulldozer blades. So, yep, it's really, really tough! And they've been doing this for over 120 years so they know what they're doing.
