Well a few years ago Sue and friends bought me the Bulldog stainless
steel
spade and matching fork for Christmas, it cost them £100 for each I
understand, and they were a special order.
When I thought I had lost the fork a couple of years ago I enquired
about
a
replacement and found out that Bulldog no longer make these British made
tools as they were too expensive for the market even though they are,
simply, the best. Shame.


What justifies £ 100 for a spade? Better material? Better design?? This is
a
genuine question out of curiosity

Quality of materials, design, and workmanship, they are forged solid
stainless steel and were made in the UK with proper wooden handles. They
will last a lifetime.

Some stainless steel tools aren't solid stainless so I'm told.
