Rogue Hoe 85H – 8.5" The BOSS

Meet The BOSS. Its blade measures a full 8.5" wide by 9" tall and the tool weighs just over 6 lb, which makes it the Rogue Hoe for bulk shaping and earth moving. Trail builders use it to bench-cut and move large volumes of soil fast, cut through roots, break hard pan and clay by turning it 45 degrees, scrape and level tread, and tamp large areas. The 40" hickory handle gives it the swing of a mattock with the control of a hoe.

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.
