What Sets Our Tools Apart

Compact and precise digging

The One-Handed Pick Mattock excels in raised beds, pots, and small spaces. Its 225mm blade gives control where larger mattocks would damage nearby plants. Use it for loosening compact soil, cutting small roots, or edging rows. The compact 360mm length provides control and efficiency, making it a go-to tool for home gardeners and professionals seeking precision.

Forged stainless and oak build

This mattock is forged from stainless steel, ensuring durability and rust resistance for long-term use. Forging aligns the steel grain for resilience under pressure, outperforming pressed alternatives. A Japanese oak handle complements the head, offering comfort, stability, and shock absorption. The result is a tool that combines strength, balance, and ease of care in a compact package.

Part of a versatile one-handed range

This pick mattock belongs to Miki’s compact stainless range, focusing on lifting and aerating. Each model shares the same forged stainless head and oak handle construction, giving you flexibility to choose the right balance of control and versatility.
