TINA knives are available with a 5,5cm and a 10,5cm blade. The handle is made of polished walnut wood and the blade folds into the handle to protect the blade and your hands when you are not using the knife.

The TINA Messerfabrik is in the German town Reutlingen in the heart of the Württemberg region. This region is known for its high tech and quality innovations in for instance the car-industry. This focus on quality is also centered in the TINA Messerfabrik. Where other knives need to be sharpened after around 400 cuts, a TINA knife is just a sharp as new after 1400 cuts.

Question 5

Wrotter luxury

Accepted Answer

“Wrotter” is a Frisian word meaning hard worker, which is a perfect description of this tool. Great for removing seedlings, weeding in tight spaces amongst borders and where it is hard to access. As the weeds are not cut but removed from the soil with the roots there is almost no chance for the weeds to regrow. The wrotter is available with a handle from ash or cherry wood, or with a longer ash handle for working in raised beds.

Question 6

Potato Planter

Accepted Answer

Creating a planting hole for potatoes or a large bulbs has never been so easy! You drive the planter into the ground with your boots, turn the tool 45 degrees to one side and remove the planter from the soil. When the next hole is made, the soil from the previous hole is ejected from the top of the tool. The potato planter is available with a stainless steel ring covering the entire tool. This ring limits the maximum depth of the hole to 140mm with a maximum width of 100mm. There is another version of this tool which excludes the ring but features a single sturdy step on the side and an ash wood handle.

Question 8

Border Spade with steps

Accepted Answer

The blade of the border spade is curved on the long side to give it strength and to prevent fracturing the blade while digging. Furthermore, the angle at which the blade is attached to handle is specifically determined to make working with the border spade more comfortable. Because of the shape and angle of the blade, the border spade is very well suited for digging in the ground but less for scooping or shoveling loose material. The border spade is available with an ash wood handle of varied sizes. Finally, there is an option to record without steps.

Question 9

Planting Trowel long

Accepted Answer

The planting trowel long is balanced with the majority of the weight situated in the blade of the tool. This might seem odd, but it is a perfect example of form following function as the planting trowel long is designed to make planting holes and is less suited for scooping/digging or transplanting plants. The heavy blade makes it easier and more comfortable to drive the blade in the soil. The blade is longer compared to the normal planting trowel, making it easier to plant bulbs and seedlings deeply into the soil. When the blade is firmly in the ground, wiggle it to the front and left and after removing the blade from the soil you are left with a perfect planting hole. The planting trowel is available with a handle from ash or cherry wood.

The transplanting trowel can be fitted with an ash or cherry wood handle.
