I'm not sure where the trowel was made, but it's well-made and of good quality. Fiskars makes good products, and I've had mine for a few years and it's still as good as new with no rust.

" It's nice to be able to move twice as much dirt while maintaining complete control over the plants or transplants you're working on. Fiskar products have been hit or miss for me in recent years, but this simple, durable (and inexpensive) trowel is a definite winner. br>br>To keep your hands from slipping and/or becoming sore, the handle is wrapped in a soft gripping material. The razor-sharp blade is made of aluminum and is rust-resistant, which is a must-have feature in Southwest Florida's heat and humidity. The handle of this trowel has been spray painted a fluorescent orange, which is the only improvement/change I've made to it. I spend a lot of time outside working on my landscaping, and I frequently forget where I put it down. It's a lot easier to see the handle against a green background. If Fiskar is listening, please consider adding bright colors to all of your gardening tools so that they are easier to find when dropped (or left somewhere). This trowel's orange tip is useful, but the entire handle should be bright orange - or a vibrant pink, for example.
This trowel has a large surface area that allows it to move a large amount of soil in half the time of a standard trowel. When a shovel would be difficult to maneuver in a small space, this is a good alternative. It's ideal for quickly putting bedding plants in the ground. The size is substantial, but not overwhelming. This is something I've been doing for a long time. It was noticed by one of my friends. I had to get her one, so this is what I got her.
Excellent in every way. It's a general-purpose trowel, but it's not particularly sharp. The leading edge is thick and blunt, in fact. Cutting into hard, dry garden soil is not a good idea.

After ordering six, I returned these because they looked more like small hand shovels than garden trowels when they arrived. Although some negative reviews claimed that the handles broke off while in use, the product appeared to be quite sturdy. I have no idea because I've never used them. The thickness of the metal on the trowel end, on the other hand, results in a blunt edge - That isn't a good thing. Another reviewer may have mentioned that he had to sharpen the edge in order for it to be useful. Unless you need to use them as a scoop, they're far too large, even with sharp edges.
After years of using a small metal shovel, I decided to try this. I'M SO EXTREMELY THANKFUL THAT I DID! It doesn't appear to be particularly sharp or simple to use. This trowel, on the other hand, is a winner once it's in the soil. This grandma is very happy because it digs up roots, cultivates them, and makes them grow.
I like the Fiskars line of products, but you have to be careful about picking the wrong Fiskar tool or not using it correctly, because your image and impression could be tainted if you use it incorrectly. In this case, I'm impressed with the size of the trowel itself, which I use for bird feed but could also be used for yard digging. Returning to my original comments, I've had these Fiskars products before and was surprised at how quickly some of them broke or came apart, so let's see if I revise this review in a few years.
I realize this is labeled "Big Grip," but it's my fault for not looking for the trowel's true dimensions, which aren't listed in the description. Because it was too big, it didn't meet my needs. Apart from that, when I received it, it had scratches on it. Simply by observing I'm not sure how well the "material" used to make this trowel would have held up if I had touched it. Over the shovel portion, it felt as if there was a coating of some kind. However, there were a few pluses: it had a good grip. Although it appeared to be sturdy, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits. I gave it back to you.
