Review: Amazing Piece of Equipment though Bit Tough to Hold - This is one of those items you don't exactly find in any retail store. The edges and lack of handle make it hard to wield for digging long periods of time but WOW is it hard metal. Great for geological excursions, hiking, etc. The hardness in the metal is such that it can be used to engrave on other metals and forget about damaging this thing on rocks. I used it as a digger on hikes and wow, incredibly light, incredibly strong and super compact for small day pack stowage.
Review: Light weight, works well on root, and does exactly what you need it to do... - I bought this and the TheTentLab New Improved Deuce(R) Ultralight Backpacking Potty Trowel. I decided to keep this one. I live in the northwest and there are roots and the soil can be dense. This trowel handled sawing through the 1/2 inch tree roots and various bush roots. It is narrower, so in theory slower, but the other trowel cant pry some of the soil the same way or handle the roots, so you have to try another location ... so in this area, it is faster. The folded Titanium lips provide a little comfort that others do not. This also helps get some leverage without needing gloves. It is a keeper! A little more feedback: Still very much a keeper, and I will add that the teeth are not sharp, so I have never had any wear on my gear due to them, but they do still cut through roots, just not like a hand saw ... My feedback is that it might be a little more comfortable to heavily round the edges where the rope/cord will pass for the tent ankor feature. This goes for the inner groove that the rope would touch, as well as the outer edges where your hands will contact as you dig.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Ultralight Full-Service Shovel
*by W***E on March 5, 2018*

This is a mini trowel, but based on the Japanese Hori Hori design, is good for three uses on the trail- tent stake (soft soil), digging cat holes by hand, and any other trench work, especially in converting it to use as a long-handled shovel. Find a stout, relatively straight tree branch, bring a brass screw with you, and turn it through the hole at the handle end to secure it to the branch. This turns it into an ultralight, and full service spade. It takes longer to work with given its thin shaping, but it will get the job done. The folded titanium is strong enough to move hard soil, and the teeth will do their work on roots.
