Rogue Hoe 55H – 5.5" Hoe

The Rogue Hoe 55H is a firefighting-grade hoe with a 5.5" wide by 9" tall head sharpened on all three sides. At 4 lb it has the heft to chop roots and woody brush like an axe, and the 40" hickory handle keeps it manageable on steep ground and in tight fence rows. Customers use it for everything from clearing multiflora rose and thorny brush to chopping out tree roots.

Rogue Hoe tools are hand-crafted by Prohoe Manufacturing, a family-owned shop in Munden, Kansas, that has been making hoes since 1990. Every head is cut from a recycled agricultural disc blade, a tough tempered steel that holds an edge far longer than stamped hardware-store tools, and each one is ground, welded and sharpened by hand. The head is guaranteed against breakage for five years and the wood-to-metal bond is guaranteed not to loosen. When the edge finally dulls, touch it up with a file, a stone or a 60-grit flap disc.
