Krumpholz
Traditional German garden tools, hand-forged since 1799.
Over 220 Years of German Blacksmithing
Krumpholz was founded in 1799 in Germany and has been passed down through generations of the same family. Today it is one of the most traditional family-run blacksmithing companies in Europe, and the workshop still forges every tool by hand using techniques that have not changed in more than two centuries. That heritage is what sets Krumpholz apart from mass-produced garden tools.
Hand-Forged from a Single Piece of Steel
Where most modern garden tools are stamped or cast, Krumpholz tools are individually hammer-forged from a single piece of high-quality steel. This traditional process compresses the steel grain, producing blades that hold their edge, resist bending and last for decades of hard use. Each blade is fitted with a durable ash handle, chosen for its natural strength and shock-absorbing feel in the hand.
Made to be Passed Down
Every Krumpholz tool is designed for a lifetime of gardening. With sound care, a Krumpholz trowel or fork can be handed down to the next generation and still be in working condition. That combination of ergonomic design, single-piece construction and sustainable ash handles is why Krumpholz remains the preferred choice for professional gardeners and serious home growers who want tools that keep working season after season.
