Baack® Spaten
Baack Spaten has been forging spades from a single piece of the best carbon
steel in the tradition of the old masters since 1878. More than 150 hammer
strikes produce a highly compact steel and thus a spade blade that is extremely
break- and wear-resistant. Over a century of experience results in tools that enjoy
a unique reputation among professionals from tree nurseries, the garden and
landscaping trade as well as underground engineering.

Wrapping up warm for the colder season
High-quality carbon steel gardening tools (such as most Japanese soil working
tools) should always be protected from rust during the colder months and when
not being used for long periods of time. To do so, clean the tool first with a brush
(e.g. No. 716111) and warm water, and then rub a small amount of rust pre-
ventive (e.g. Japanese Camellia oil) onto all exposed areas of steel using a cloth.
Tools that have not been cleaned and protected for a long time and are already
