King of Spades Shovel with 13-Inch Edge and Long Handle

The King of Spades Shovel with 13-inch edge and long handle is a full-size digging tool built from aircraft-quality steel tubing for contractors, landscapers, and farmers working compacted soil and rocky ground. The 63-inch overall length reduces back strain on deep excavation projects while the 13-inch tapered cutting edge resists dents and nicks from striking buried rocks and roots. Our team has used Lesche's King of Spades line on job sites where standard shovels bend or break, and this long-handle model is the tool we reach for when we need maximum digging power and all-day durability. The self-sharpening edge maintains its bite through clay and hardpan without constant maintenance, and the heat-treated steel construction outlasts consumer-grade shovels by years.

What's Included with the King of Spades Long Handle Shovel

• King of Spades Shovel with 13-inch cutting edge and 63-inch long handle
• Aircraft-quality steel construction with heat-treated finish
• Rust-resistant coating for long-term durability

Why Contractors and Landscapers Reach for the King of Spades

• Aircraft-quality steel tubing withstands the shock loads from striking buried obstacles that snap consumer shovels, keeping you working instead of shopping for replacements after every tough job.
• The 13-inch self-sharpening edge maintains a keen cutting surface through thousands of strikes in clay and compacted soil, eliminating the downtime other crews lose to blade maintenance.
• Heat treatment strengthens the steel beyond standard construction shovels, so the blade holds its shape when you're prying against concrete footings or buried pipes.
• At 6.75 pounds and 63 inches long, the shovel delivers the weight and reach needed for deep trenching and foundation work without the fatigue of heavier models.
• Hand-crafted in the USA using advanced manufacturing techniques, this shovel is built to last decades on commercial job sites where cheaper tools fail in months. For a wider blade and shorter handle, consider the King of Spades 15-inch model with foot pad.

Heat-Treated Steel Construction for Rocky Ground and Root-Heavy Terrain

The King of Spades long handle shovel is forged from aircraft-quality steel tubing and heat-treated to deliver superior strength in demanding digging conditions. The 13-inch by 6-inch cutting edge features a long taper that resists dents and nicks when you strike rocks, roots, or buried debris. This taper design also creates a virtually self-sharpening edge during use, so the blade stays sharp through clay, hardpan, and compacted fill without manual sharpening. The rust-resistant finish protects the steel from moisture and soil chemistry, and the smooth surface cleans easily after each shift. The 63-inch handle gives you the reach and mechanical advantage needed for deep holes and trenches, reducing the number of repositioning steps compared to shorter shovels. Lesche manufactures every King of Spades shovel by hand in the USA, and the quality control shows in the weld integrity and blade geometry.

• Best for: Deep excavation projects, trenching in compacted soil, foundation work, and any job site where you're digging through rocky ground or root systems that would damage standard shovels.
• Less ideal for: Tight spaces where the 63-inch length makes maneuvering difficult, or light gardening tasks where a shorter handle offers better control.
