The blade is hardened and tempered to 48-52 HRC, which gives it enough bite for compacted clay without being brittle enough to chip on buried rocks.
At 245×290×523mm overall, the square profile moves more materail per stroke than a round point, so rs tend to prefer it for edging and trenching—not ideal for deep post holes though, you’d want a spud bar for that.
