Hoe Dag

Designed by his dad over 50 years ago, Idaho craftsman Darrel Inman carries on the family tradition creating the perfect digging tool, weeding gadget and planter named the Hoe Dag.

The Hoe Dag is handmade with a carbon steel blade and is heat-treated for strength. The handle is hewn from seasoned beech. Built to last your lifetime and ready to pass to the next generation of gardener in your life.

Recommended to us by Cold Climate Garden blogger Kathy Purdy, we’re thrilled to offer her favorite tool and positive you’ll reach for it again and again.

Featured in Fine Gardening and ReadyMade magazines

I make each hoe dag tool in my own shop in Lewiston, Idaho. The carbon steel blade is heat-treated to Rc-45 for exceptional strength and toughness. The handle is made from seasoned beech. If I do say so myself, the hoe dag is made to the highest quality standards around, mine.

I hope that the hoe dag is the garden tool you’ll reach for again and again.
