Why this trenching shovel stands out
The Razor-Back trenching shovel is crafted for the distinct demands of trench work. The long wooden handle provides a comfortable, straight stance that minimizes back strain during extended digging sessions. The steel blade is built to hold its edge through rocky soil and tough clays, while the blue coating protects against rust and wear, extending the life of your investment. The 11-inch by 3-inch blade offers a balanced digging footprint—wide enough to move soil efficiently, narrow enough to follow precise lines for irrigation trenches.
Ideal use cases
- Installing irrigation lines, sprinkler piping, or drainage trenches in lawns and gardens
- Creating edging along garden beds, sidewalks, or fence lines with clean, defined walls
- Digging narrow, straight trenches for cable or utility laying in light commercial or residential projects

Care and maintenance tips
- After use, wipe the blade clean and dry to prevent rust accumulation on the coated surface.
- Store in a dry place; if the wooden handle shows signs of drying, apply a light coat of mineral oil to preserve its flexibility.
- Regularly inspect the edge and re-sharpen as needed to maintain a crisp digging edge for future projects.
