I'm an experienced backpacker and I've never packed a trowel. It probably comes down to the locations I frequent (UT/ID/MT/CO Rocky Mountains usually), but a sturdy rock has always done the trick for me. I just don't see the need to carry around a dedicated digging tool. I was car camping in the desert over the weekend, however, and I admit that my shovel was much appreciated to dig cat holes in that hard ground. I'm a little surprised how many ultralighters carry these....just my 2 cents.

Just checking on the Suluk46 site and your measurements are wrong in both inches, mm and weight. Small: 2″ Wide x 7″ Long (13 grams)  - 50mm x 180mm Large: 2.5″ Wide x 8.5″ Long (20 grams) - 64mm x 215mm

Seems a little extravagant considering it's use.

The ounces you save are traded for the effort you expend. That's why I never hit the trail without my Cat Trowel: We fear no roots--roots fear us!!!

RayFHaha, I've found my duce of spades excellent for getting through roots. I'm strongly considering picking up one of these Suluk offerings.

For people that own this, do you prefer the small or the large for hiking?

I wasn't as impressed as i thought i'd be with my previous spade - the deuce of spades trowel, so I sought another little shovel for myself and this is the one i chose. i have the small version. and it is VERY nice, i love it.
i've had it for a month and i don't notice it in my bag until i need it. it is thinner than the deuce of spades so cuts into the ground/roots easier. the whole product was abit sharp when it arrived and i sliced my finger on the handle testing it out. i took some light sandpaper to it and smoothed it out all over, including the point at the end abit so it won't make a hole in my day pack.
I actually bought this for everyday use as i help out in a permaculture garden near my work. it is a perfect size making holes to transplant new seedlings into the ground with!
I havent been on a hike since i've had it. My baby son loves to use it when we are in the park, and it seems to work well in hard ground. better than the deuce.
Thanks Suluk 46 - i am very happy with this

PAPATYSThanks for your comment, I have the Deuce and find it a little hard to use and was wondering if I were to get a second one if this would be an upgrade

djprIt is a REALLY well made piece of gear. Since writing this review I have modified it by cutting off the two parts that curl back toward the shovel end, so that it doesn't get caught in the bag/fits better in the pocket. This is because I use it more in soft ground than hard, and don't need the protection :)

The Suluk 46 Large just arrived. At first I was very surprised at how light and flimsy it felt. the metal is quite thin and it flexes. I applied force to bent it and was surprised at how rigid it is. the metal folds are very well engineered to keep the trowel stable. I dug a hole with it. WOW. I am in disbelief at how well it digs and remains structurally sound given its weight and thin thickness. I am a convert and still amazed at this strength of this trowel. at first I was thinking "$50 for this??" (the total price in Canadian was $50). but after using it I now feel its well worth the money - its trowel high technology! Looking forward to bringing this on a camping trip and digging holes.

What titanium grade is this? I don't see grade specified in product description. This is important - I had grade 2 trowel and it was too soft. Bought Deuce Scoop grade 5 titanium, good trowel and cost less than this btw.

There is a whole discussion on that Ti grade topic here if you're interested: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/vargo-titanium-dig-tool/talk Shows pros and cons. I went with the Vargo.
