Lesche most popular digger. Best tool on the market for metal detecting.
Check out the Lesche Tool in action!
After reading all of the hype I sprung for the Lesche even though I thought it was over priced (Bart helped with that though). As a digging tool it is excellent and very strong. I'm a big guy and I have put a lot of weight on this blade without breaking it. I only have two complaints. 1) I wish the point was more rounded. In the soil that I dig in the sharp point makes it difficult to "scoop" dirt out of the bottom of the hole. 2) the sheath didn't hold up for me. I never requested a replacement because I use a leather carpenters pouch that has a perfect slot for the Lesche.
Hands down, the best tool I have ever owned to get the job done efficiently and clean.
BUY ONE! You will NOT be disappointed! My wife was so impressed with it, that she currently uses it for our garden too.
I don't know the exact type of steel it's made of. But if you can bend this thing you might be better off digging with your hands.
