Fokin's flat cutter is a tool that is a metal plate bent at an angle. It has 3 sharp surfaces: 2 blades on both sides of the plate and a narrow nose.

What can this seemingly inconspicuous tool be used for?

The tool is often used for weeding beds. It is especially convenient to do this on damp soil - with parallel movements, easily move the tool along the edges of the rows and between the rows, and pull out the remaining blades of grass between the plants with your hands.

Fokin's flat cutter is an indispensable thing for those who plan to hill up potatoes and other vegetables. In this case, the flat side should be used to rake the soil to the plants.

The tool will also come in handy when you need to weed and loosen the strawberry beds, as well as remove excess tendrils.

Use it to loosen the soil and get rid of weeds growing under bushes and around tree trunks.

In addition, the flat cutter is suitable for mowing tall grass and stinging nettles in remote, hard-to-reach corners of the site.

Fokin's flat cutter will also help you cut off grown green manure in order to bury it in the soil.
