Rogue Hoe 70AR – 7" Travis Tool, 54" Handle

The Travis Tool is Rogue Hoe's multi-purpose trail and pasture tool. One side of the head is a bevelled scraper, the other side is a rake, the bottom is a 7" wide sharp hoe edge and a short pick sits on top. That combination lets you cut brush from a trail, take down small locust or cedar, dig out roots and rocks, rake debris and then grade and tamp the tread without changing tools. This version comes on a 54" ash handle.

Because disc-blade supply varies, Rogue Hoe notes that the head may be slightly smaller than pictured; the design stays the same.

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.
