The Lesche Sampson blade measures 7.5 inches long by 4 inches wide, a size that balances plug extraction efficiency with soil displacement control. The blade is wide enough to cut a clean plug around a target signal without requiring multiple cuts, but narrow enough that you are not moving excessive soil on every dig. The serrated edge and heat-treated construction allow the blade to penetrate compacted clay and root-heavy soil with less effort than a larger shovel. For relic hunters working field permissions where you may dig dozens of targets in a session, the blade size reduces fatigue while maintaining digging speed.
