My wife has retired and has become keen gardening but she finds that she
can be a bit too ruthless with the normal hoe, she says she could do with
one slightly narrower hoe than the normal Dutch hoe.
She's convinced she's seen them in the past but we cannot find them
locally
or with Google.

Does anybody know if they exist and where we can get one from before we
have
no plants left?

No exactly an answer to your question but as an allotment gardener I use a
hoe a great deal and find the Wolf Garden, Multichange small push pull
weeder
(RF M10) to be the best hoe we have ever had. Excellent quality too.
The handles come separate and in different lengths and the blade has guards
at each side to try to avoid doing accidental damage.
Take a look on www.wolf-garden.com/ for Multichange and the product number
mentioned above.
