Mini Pick Axe

The abbreviated, German-forged 16" shaft Mini Pick Axe is the perfect tool when working from a squat or on knees. The overall weight hits the sweet spot between solidity and lightness. It's heavy enough to pry roots and small rocks out of the soil, but light enough to comfortably swing one handed when loosening dirt. The head is 11¾" wide tip to tip, and it's tapered. An oiled ash handle for maximum whip and durability. A hole at the south end of the shaft allows for off-ground storage when not in use.

 A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Our Maker

We wanted to share with you an inside look at a 4th generation family business that makes some of our best garden digging tools and most of our axes, hatchets, and clearing tools. 

It’s located in Germany near Heidelberg, not far from the Rhine River. The factory and forge are run by Tobias runs with his wife Dovile. In my 30+ years of being in the tool business, I’ve learned the exceptional people are those who always have an eye out for quality and can easily discuss both the use of the tools, the process of making them, as well as the craftsman who work for them. Tobias fit that mark perfectly – it’s in his blood. 

From the Hickory handles sourced in the USA to the forges powered by wood waste the details are considered.
