This thin blade style hoe seems to be fairly rare, but it's my preference for general purpose weeding, and can easily be used to create hills / troughs. Easily maneuverable, great for the gardener who doesn't want a separate tool for each task.
Hoe arrived nicely packaged and fairly sharp. Used immediately without further sharpening, so far it has produced good results! Seems to keep an edge well, though I have only used it three times since it arrived. We'll see how long it lasts, I have high hopes. So far, I would definitely recommend.

I'd been using my grandfather's hoe for many years until the neck finally broke. In need of a replacement, I looked at the usual big box stores, but reviews I read all said the handles or the welds broke pretty quickly on the mostly Chinese made stuff, so I did a Google search and stumbled across Rogue Hoe. I like that they are taking old farm equipment and repurposing it, and that it's an American company. They seem pricey, but reviews were all good, so I decided to pay more and buy a tool I hoped would last the rest of my life. Initial inspection leads me to believe this hoe will most likely outlive me if properly cared for. I used it for the first time for about two hours yesterday, weeding a severely overgrown and neglected large flower bed. It worked wonderfully and with the smaller sharpened edges I was able to get right up next to the plants I wanted to keep. It worked so much better than the 70 year old hoe I'd been using. I'd planned to put down a thick layer of mulch today to hopefully smother the weeds while they are damaged and cut below ground at the roots, but alas, it's supposed to rain almost every day for the next two weeks, so I'll likely get to used it again before I can get the mulch put in. Weeding is never fun, but the 575G Rogue Hoe makes it at least tolerable and definitely satisfying to see the end results.

Weeding in a wheelchair or scooching around in the dirt is a pain. This hoe gives me good reach, while being light and strong. No more trampling my plants while trying to pull weeds. I've tried many different tools for the garden and for me this one works the best.

When i received the hoe it was sharpened well, however there were burrs left which were easily removed with a file. After the burrs were removed, i went straight to the garden to put it to the test. it out performed any other hoe i had ever used. It does exactly what its suppose to and seemed very durable. the head is all one solid piece with not weld unlike the cheaper goose neck hoes i have used in the past. I have a big family of gardeners and I am sure they are going to be envious of me with my hoe. Awesome!

This is a very nice tool. I'm 6'3" and the handle suits me fine. I can reach far under trees and stuff to get to those stubborn weeds (rather than crawling on the ground with a hand tool). Very nice in dirt, sandy type soils, flower beds, and gardens. Very quick and easy for small weeds. Does okay on medium weeds. Established plants with thick roots like clover and alfalfa are very resistant to this tool. If it's got a root like those, you need something else. Knocks out small sage no problem. Sage with thick stems and branches? Need something else. For dandelions mixed into tough grass turf, this tool is a little fatiguing to do the push-pull thing to get them out one at a time. I found myself going back squatting with a hand pick. It was much faster. Then my rogue hoe 65 VW arrived with the pointy tip. Popped out weeds from grass turf without difficulty. It was also easier and faster in the driveway gravel parking areas. The pointy tip made it easier to get under the rocks, dig through the weeds, and rake everything back with the other end of the 65 VW. Both have their uses. The VW is going to sort of plow the ground like you're going to plant stuff, or you can use the wider end to make a flatter cut. The 575G makes pretty even cuts. It does have a bowed edge. The sides are pretty good for single weeds. The wide edge lets you take out groups of weeds with ease. If you've got really tough soil, lots of rocks, thick grass turf ... you may want the 65 VW instead. The 65 slices through that stuff. I guess if I could only have one, I'd use the 65 VW with the rocky soils around here. The 575 feels lighter to me.
