Probably one of the best hoes you will ever own. I have an old hoe....about the same type. It sharpens great and I love to use it to get under plants. My hoe came from my grandfather and it was real old then.

It looks like a row hoe, we had one when we raised tobacco.These can be made to look this way by using a grinding wheel,or the old way with lots of use.They are thin and sometimes hand made. These are great for hoeing out weeds around corn and tobacco. We planted corn in 2 or 3 grains together then skipped 6 to 8 inches ,which made getting weed away from the the good plants easier without cuting any plants down with the sharp edges of a regular. You can replace the handle easy.Very nice hoe
