Default bronze tools

Professional gardener friends run an amazing biodynamic veg garden and
have been using these tools for a few years. They swear by them, and
brought a couple to the last meeting of our local garden club to show
us.. I am smitten by the Sirius hoe :-)
Anybody else tried them?

Are you having a laugh?
Impractical, expensive and worthless to a practical gardener.
I wonder why these tools are made from steel now.
A bronze tool would be good in the stone age.
Bronze is a useless alloy today for tools. Soft and blunted easily.
Why? On earth? would somebody re-create these useless tools? And try to
sell them?

My, oh my
