Abstract
A pendulum type hoe has a stirrup-shaped blade mounted to the fork of a handle for limited articulation. Inturned flanges of the blade engage hourglass shaped openings in the fork arms, the flanges being retained between reinforcing bars which project through the openings and afford strength, wear resistance, and limited resilience to the blade. The fork is made in two separable parts whereby any component of the hoe may be replaced.
