A grass knife lets you cut a plug of turf quickly and neatly without damaging the grass. Ideal for shallow finds. Choose from grass knives and holsters from Nokta, Garrett, Quest, EmiteR and Detect.
A grass knife (or digger) is the ideal tool for shallow finds in lawns, parks and pastures. With its sharp, serrated blade you quickly cut a plug of turf, remove your find and put the plug back neatly. That way your search leaves hardly a trace.
Need to dig deeper or searching in hard ground? Then choose a metal detecting shovel.
What’s the difference between a grass knife and a shovel?
A grass knife is smaller and ideal for shallow finds in grass. A shovel digs deeper, even in hard ground. Many detectorists carry both.
Is a grass knife suitable for beginners?
Yes. It’s light, easy to use and leaves little trace. A great first purchase alongside your detector.
How do I carry my grass knife safely?
Use a holster on your belt or leg. The blade stays safely stowed and your hands stay free.
