Welcome

We started using these tools in our own garden and allotment in 2001 and immediately recognised their unique quality. Hand-made from natural materials and practical as well as beautiful, they also make unusual gardening gifts.

About the tools

The tool heads are made of solid bronze (copper with a little bit of tin). Other parts are pure copper, brass and other copper alloys.

They don't rust
They have sharp edges
They are hardwearing and will last for years
Copper is known to deter slugs and snails
They slice into the soil and come out clean

The tools are hand-made in Austria and Hungary by PKS Bronze. The company is based in Austria and the smithy is just over the border in Hungary. The tool heads are made of solid bronze and the handles are from European hardwoods - ash, beech and lime. Our tools are designed for working in cultivated soil. The tool heads carry a no-quibble, 25-year guarantee (excluding normal wear and tear) and the handles have a two-year guarantee.

As well as the garden tools, we supply English-made bronze garden riddles, Haws copper watering cans and brass plant misters.

Our guarantee. These are long-lasting tools, which should outlast most of us. However, if for any reason you are unhappy with your tool, we offer a no-quibble 25-year guarantee. We will refund or replace an unused tool. We will also repair or replace a faulty tool. Of course, this excludes normal wear and tear. The wooden handles and shafts are guaranteed for two years (and we supply replacement handles and shafts) For users outside the UK, we will also honour this guarantee but will ask for help with postage costs.
