A hardware-store spade stays in the truck; this one hangs off a pack strap all day. The double serrated, heat-treated blade chews through the root mat that stops smooth-edged diggers, and the carbon fiber shaft takes the sting out of every strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CKG carbon metal detecting shovel pairs a carbon fiber shaft and D-handle with a double serrated heat-treated steel blade.

The all-steel \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-t-handle-metal-detecting-shovel\"\u003eCKG T-handle shovel\u003c\/a\u003e is the leverage tool at 3.8 lb (1.75 kg); this one trades a pound and a half of carry weight for a carbon fiber shaft with natural vibration damping, and the manufacturer calls the blade what it is: a root cutter, razor-sharp, heat-treated, serrated down both edges. In parks and yards the narrow tapered blade also cuts a clean, small plug that closes invisibly, which is what keeps permissions open. The big-box listings for this shovel are bare title-and-price pages; the dimensions above are CKG's own published figures, printed here so you know exactly what tool shows up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and what they mean in the dirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:45%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon fiber shaft + D-handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25 lb (1.02 kg) total; strike vibration dies in the shaft, not your wrist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble serrated, heat-treated steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaws through root mat and sod that folds smooth blades\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade 7.7 x 5.9 in (20 x 15 cm), tip 3.9 in (10 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNarrow taper cuts tidy plugs that close clean on manicured ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e39 in \/ 100 cm overall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull standing dig height; no crouching over every target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 in \/ 11 cm D-handle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-hand control with gloves on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich CKG digger is right for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCarbon fiber shovel - this one\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-t-handle-metal-detecting-shovel\"\u003eT-handle steel shovel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ckg-hand-sand-scoop-yellow-handle\"\u003eHand sand scoop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightest carry, root cutter, hike-in hunts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll tempered steel, 3.8 lb, maximum pry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeach dry-sand recovery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeading to the beach instead?
