Grafa garden tools are handmade locally in Melbourne’s inner west, using readily available copper, bronze and hardwood timber materials.
Much of the copper is up-cycled, reclaimed tube collected from metal recycling centres around Melbourne.
Copper is mainly used because it is malleable enough to shape but being a single tube, it is still strong enough to handle years in the garden. It is also infinitely recyclable, even 50% of new copper is made from recycled copper.
Bronze is used for the tool heads on the timber handle range because of its toughness, strength, low coefficient of friction, and fine grain. Bronze is an alloy, made primarily of copper.
The tools were specifically designed with organic and biodynamic gardening principles in mind because copper does not rust and its properties are found to promote growth and nutrient uptake.
Grafa artisan garden tools to last a lifetime.
