This one is made from an old Kubota mower blade, (good hard steel), a piece of steel tube and a nice piece of fiddleback timber I turned on a lathe. It may be a little heavy for some, but that makes digging easier. Also has a rare earth magnet screwed to the end of the handle.&nbsp;JoinedNov 8, 2014Messages2,931Reaction score5,318LocationCairnsThat looks awesome mate!Looks a bit short for me, but it should last a fair while being built out of hardy materials!!&nbsp;Last edited: Jul 2, 2022Supporting MemberJoinedAug 11, 2013Messages17,804Reaction score13,056LocationS.E.Qld., QLDGreat build.&nbsp;PeterSupporting MemberJoinedJun 4, 2014Messages432Reaction score438LocationCairns, QLDI like a pick with a bit of weight, does make digging easier.&nbsp;JoinedDec 29, 2021Messages6Reaction score19My attempt made from 5mm 316 stainless steel.

If you look closely both top and bottom is sharpened. I don't think it really matters. Unless you use it to cut into something. I'll let you know the outcome.&nbsp;Supporting MemberJoinedAug 11, 2013Messages17,804Reaction score13,056LocationS.E.Qld., QLDNice solid unit.&nbsp;TerryJoinedAug 28, 2013Messages278Reaction score325LocationRedlands, QLDGhost27 said:To be honest, I'm not sure what norm is these days.
