I bought this as a christmas present for my daughter who had just gotten a bachelor's degree in anthropology which has ties to archaeology. She got why I gave this for her so I suppose the gesture was a success. She will probably never use it and I will probably never see it again but it sure looks solid.

A nice trowel for the purpose, it does not have the makers name on the handle unlike the Amazon photo.

Nice solid tang and good steel. Handle began to turn after a few weeks of light use in the field. Shouldn't have to repair a trowel when I've used it for less than a season.

Overall, a fine trowel. My application was archaeology. It takes a good edge, and keeps its sharpness well with use. I've used it in various soil conditions. I have a smaller trowel that I like better. I thought "bigger is better" when I bought this, but honestly this sometimes feels too big and clumsy for finer detail work. The smaller trowels offer more precise control. However, since archaeology trowels are sharpened as they dull, eventually this means I will file this trowel down to the more comfortable size of the smaller trowels as the material is worn away. So it's not a huge complaint from me. The trowel is solid and made of quality materials. The holster is great for archaeology so your sharp trowel isn't left around on the ground to be stepped on or lost. 4 stars.

note: 4 inch is pictured, the 5 inch is not straight edged, but the curve is easily removed with a grinder or hand filing (if desired). good quality, thicker steel than the standard Marshalltown. sheath is one size, so it is kind of big for the 5 inch and smaller, but it works fine. I've purchased 2 of these, one for me and one as a gift, very happy with both.

See my post about the "SE DD312 12-piece steel wax carvers" I ordered along with this item and several others. Amazon screwed up, or at least their database did, and sent the wrong address for shipping; all four items went to the wrong address. To Amazon's credit, they re-shipped the goods they had in inventory, but told me they couldn't help with the 3rd party vendor from which the carvers were coming. Seems to me that if Amazon's database screwed up the order (it was an address that I lived at THREE moves ago and which wasn't tied to my credit card) and sent the 3rd party vendor the wrong address, Amazon should make it right. I had ordered several books just a couple of months prior, and they all came to the correct address like these should have, so it wasn't a matter of me not updating my account, THAT had been done correctly. I won't recommend buying anything from Amazon until they stand up and take responsibility for THEIR error.

The steel isn't up the grade of the one I got in the 1970's but what is these days? The steel immediately starting spotting and discoloring. It's probably all part of a "process."
