Are you two having a dig at each other?

If you continue to argue!! you will only be digging a hole for yourself.

(Anymore?)

Damn wrong thread. I was looking for a deal on four candles.

cheers ordered :smile:

£4.50 each - not for both

Will look nice in the cutlery draw. :smirk:

are these any good?

Carbon steel means it will rust. The description mentions it that much you would almost believe it was a beneficial product feature (better than plastic though:D).

how long is this offer on for, I m going to dig the patio up, don't want the wife to see it being delivered

Blah, blah. Don't take me for a fool.
I know more about steel than most people and having 5 mentions of 'carbon steel' in the title and description will make some individuals think that it is somehow endowing these Implements with better than average abilities which it will not.
You can pick up properly forged, hardened and also stainless spades and forks from places like Wicked for around £10 which will give better value for money than this ever will. My experience so far with Sovereign products is that they are cheap Chinese junk.
BTW in regard to your reply "it is not the carbon in steel that makes it rust!". Yes, obviously I never said it will. I stated that this will inevitably rust as an aide for those people who will confuse this for something which it is not.
So get of your high horse with your "silly" and pointless reply.
You could have attached a link to the following which would be a far better deal and has a 5 year warranty:

​Digging with rusty garden tools makes it a lot more work. I'll stick to my Spear and Jackson Stainless ones with a 10 year guarantee. :smiley:

what a lot of argument over a fork n spade! if all you need a something to dig up a bit of soil for plants etc then personally i think 4.50 is a bargain. i'd need something a bit more heavy duty due to the amount of stones in the ground in my area-forks are forever being broken in this house! tho i may get one of these as a backup.

Fork off, both of you!

Is Stainless steel not more brittle than carbon steel, which would probably bend before snapping?
I'm not stirring, actually curious.

Damn wrong thread. I was looking for a deal on four candles.

I have no Wicked store near me :disappointed:

I read it as Sovereign Border and thought it was discounted UKIP membership. I'm pleased to see an argument involving Chinese tat so I wasn't far off :smiley:

Congratulations, you should be really proud of your purchase. May the gardening gods smile upon your outdoor achievements for upwards of a decade.

Remember these are also border spades, also known as ladies' spades in the past. Ideal for digging in restricted space but the smaller head and handle is not so great if you have a lot if digging to do.

For fork sake, call a spade a spade. :smiley:

Reserved one in Sheffield OK - got my reservation number and just had a call saying they are out of stock :/ So much for reservations!
