Great and sturdy looking hoe, man but that weld scar looks deep. It's an extra pain to bevel the edges and get the angle/thinness right but it's one less point of failure and place for corrosion to fester if you do. I usually forge with wrought iron tool bodies and the shear plane you can get had ruined a few of my early attempts at chisels.

thanks for the comment. And agreed wrought iron would definitely be the way to go. Too bad it's not still made, and can be hard to source.
