Provençal asparagus gouge. This asparagus cutter... is identical in design to those that have been in use in France for hundreds of years. The curved, sharply beveled blade cuts asparagus below ground level neatly and effortlessly. The shaft is firmly anchored in a smooth European ash handle, and its angle with the handle makes for great leverage and effortless work. Even if you don’t have an asparagus patch, this tool is the ultimate weeder, especially for noxious tap-rooted weeds such as dandelion, dock, and burdock. 1, record 1, English, - asparagus%20gouge
