I have half a dozen hoes dating to the 40's and 50's when my Grandparents grew sugar beets and tomatoes. These are what they used to call sugar beet hoes. Used a lot of migrant labor back then to weed between plants.
Nothing more than a hoe that is cut down so that the top is shaped like a peak or roof of a home. Center peak is 2 inches from the blade and the wall height is about an inch. Has a bit of a turn in so it is an acute angle between blade and handle.
Work well for cutting in and around plants. The main edge gets sharpened as well as the end edges allowing for 3 working surfaces.
These are what I use still and I have found nothing better for getting in, around and beneath seedlings and plants, especially root vegetables.
