Default Spade

I've been looking at buying a new spade. I've got a 'Wilkinson-Sword' spade currently, it's good for deep digging as it's quite narrow (it's not a trench model though). It's not too hot at shovelling though, due to its narrow nature.

I've looked at one of these......



It's a 'Titchmarsh' branded spade, the model name is 'Digging Spade', allthough I have seen it called a 'Bulldog-Spade'?

RRP is high - £38.29 - but it's a high quality item that should last a lifetime.

What spade experience do you have, and could anyone recommend a better spade?

Thanks,

Matthew E.

PS – I’ll not be parting with my current spade, as I still like it - see below,
