Made in Austria.

The Lyra is the hand tool you'll reach for more than any other. A five-tined copper alloy hand claw with a beech wood handle — compact at 31cm, light at 200g — designed for the close, careful work of weeding, loosening, and surface cultivation where larger tools simply don't belong. The copper tines move through soil with less friction than iron, never rust, never need maintenance, and introduce beneficial trace elements into the earth with every use. Based on the agricultural research of naturalist Viktor Schauberger, copper tools have long been valued for supporting healthy soil structure and natural growth. Resharpenable when needed, and built to outlast every plastic-handled tool you've ever owned.

Since 1995, PKS has been handcrafting garden tools from copper and bronze alloy in the alpine town of Bad Ischl, Austria — a region with a centuries-old tradition of fine metalwork. Each tool is forged by hand using traditional techniques, producing implements that are not only extraordinarily durable but genuinely beautiful objects in their own right. Copper's natural properties — rust-resistant, low-friction, beneficial to soil health — make PKS tools a serious choice for the discerning gardener. Made entirely in Austria, built to last a lifetime.
