Mater Shin's Anvil #70 Hand Cultivator 3-Tine

The Master Shin #70 Hand Cultivator is a three-tine garden tool handcrafted by renowned Korean blacksmith Master Shin In-Young. Its tines are forged from repurposed carbon steel—the same durable steel reclaimed from railroad tracks—strong enough to rake and aerate beds, break up compacted soil, and tease out stubborn roots without bending.

The handle is shaped from chestnut or oak that has been shade-dried for years to settle its weight, stability, and natural water resistance, giving a balanced, comfortable grip that holds up season after season. Each tool reflects centuries of Korean blacksmithing heritage, embodying precision, simplicity, and functional elegance.
