About Trail Blades

Trail Blades started because we were tired of breaking tools. After years of riding and building trails around St. Louis, Missouri, we kept seeing the same thing—shovels bending, handles snapping, and builders wasting time fixing or replacing gear that should’ve been built to last.


We knew there had to be a better way, so we set out to design tools that could actually handle the work. Trail Blades makes trail building tools that are tough, reliable, and designed by people who actually use them. And while these tools were born on the trail, they’re just as useful for landscaping, gardening, or any project you’ve got going. Our goal is simple: to give builders the gear they deserve, so they can spend less time fixing tools and more time building the things that matter.
