LL - This is truly awesome!! The hoe I've been dreaming of all season as my intensive beds didnt grow fast enough to shade out the weeds as they usually do, I've needed a powerful but narrow hoe and it's here! (or


there!!) Thanks for posting this. Looking forward to the USA info.

I haven't gotten email from them yet so I may have to call again
at 3:30 AM about that or order direct from England.

Still looking for a 'light' Japanese mattock source, also. -Allan
