The Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball Hand Fork is a perfect blend of elegance and performance. Designed by Sophie Conran, part of Britain’s iconic Conran design family, this tool brings a touch of refinement to one of gardening’s most essential tasks.
Created with the same care and precision that define the entire Sophie Conran collection, this fork is smaller and lighter than many standard hand forks, giving excellent control and balance. It slips easily into the soil, making light work of weeding, loosening compacted earth, and preparing beds for planting.
The three tines are crafted from mirror polished stainless steel, which slides smoothly into the soil with minimal resistance. The surface resists rust and dirt, helping the tool stay clean and bright for years to come. Each tine is shaped and sharpened to deliver both strength and precision, making it ideal for use in borders, pots, and raised beds.
The handle is made from sustainably sourced FSC beechwood with a waxed finish that feels warm and comfortable in the hand. Its gently contoured shape sits naturally in the palm, providing a secure grip that reduces fatigue during longer sessions in the garden. The solid brass ferrule adds a refined finishing touch, creating a strong connection between handle and head while giving the tool a timeless appearance.
This hand fork is as practical as it is beautiful. It is lightweight yet sturdy, perfectly proportioned for delicate work, and designed to be used for years. The engraved Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball maker’s mark on the handle is a subtle reminder of its quality and heritage.
Presented in an elegant recyclable gift box, this fork makes a thoughtful gift for gardeners who appreciate design as much as performance. It is also a reliable everyday companion for anyone who values well made tools. Covered by a ten year guarantee against manufacturing defects, it offers lasting confidence and style in one simple form.
Combining designer flair, exceptional craftsmanship, and genuine comfort, this hand fork is a pleasure to use and a joy to own.
