I love this! He makes lefty versions of several good hand tools--I think I'll order one of the Cape Cod weeders. Thanks for the link!

And here's a tip--I bought a 2"x5" mason's trowel for transplanting soil blocks. It's great for that, but it also makes a very good hand weeder--the long flat blade can be placed parallel with the soil and pushed along, making quick work of all that carpetweed around my onions. It would be even better when sharpened, I suspect.
