Guys,, I’m trying to locate a particular spade that is narrower than a regular spade..it’s a normal length spade,, just doesn’t have the normal width.
I’ve used regular spades for decades,, but I’ve been seeing a few of these as of late.
I tried using a cutting wheel on a normal spade to try and make it.. but it made the blade weak,,, and it had way to much flex to it.
Anyone know who carries one.
I’ve tried MTP and F&T and they don’t have any.
Cumberland supply was spose to have them but the online catalog said they didn’t have such a thing.

I bought mine from Cumberland's. Give them a call.

The one I have came from Cumberlands, got it a couple of years ago at the NTA Convention. Would like to have another for a spare

While were looking for unique trowels I'd like to find one that I had years ago but misplaced. It's one for making pocket sets, a standard three inch wide one that is squared off instead of pointed, preferably with a long handle aka a mink trappers type trowel.

Just pick up a track shovel (sharpshooter) I think they call them, and trim it to your liking.

1/2 of a post hole digger works pretty good

JC Connor has a narrow mink spade but I think it’s pointed.

These are the two I use for pocket sets and beaver sets. Got the narrower one at a yard sale for a couple bucks.
The other one I got at Menards and is almost indestructible. Got the tip from Gerald Schmitts " Mega Mink Methods " years back.

Here’s one that’s 3 inches wide.
