In Finland hand tools are all awful. Anything available is just cheap chinese junk.
Recently found a german manufacturer, SHW, that still make forged hand tools like shovels and mattocks in old school designs. Bought a grub hoe and a strassenhacke from them and they are excellent.

- jay_kyburz 2y agoI have a few Fiskars tools because the look cool and expensive, they are OK I guess but not as "sturdy" as some of my favorite tools. Fiskars uses modern industrial design and modern materials, but not every cool new design works out.
