About the Manufacturer:
- Asaka Industrial is the only operating shovel factory in Japan
- Considered the “gold standard” of shovels in Japan and valued by both professionals and amateurs
- Large volumes and a refined (over more than a hundred years) production process – allow them to offer a real Japanese shovel at an affordable price
Notes:
- The spade is shorter (5 – 10 cm) than the European standard; it might seem a bit too short for tall people.
