Description linfo with the product on your website said fork was tempered as well as forged. Razorback labeling does not claim it is tempered. The fat rough surfaced tines on the fork make it heavy and difficult to penetrate into materials. I have a 60+ year old 5 tine fork with thinner and stronger tines, which I was hoping to replicate for a gift to my wife. But instead I get this low quality fork. I have yet to find a 5 tine fork that has tempered tines and matches the quality of 60 year old fork.

I find that a metal manure fork is indispensable for cleaning stalls and handling large loads of manure. I also found that I had to really look around before I found this one at our local Tractor Supply. I sure didn't have any problems finding the broken one which I'm guessing that I have had approximately for 25-30 years. I have had it less than a week or thereabouts. It is metal, sturdy and works like my old one. It's a manure fork! I did not buy the fork on line as I wanted to handle and see prior to purchasing it.

VERY blunted points on the tines, and they are not all in the same plane. (bent up/down from true)

I bought two of these manure forks to replace my old ones that were 40+ years old. These seem sturdy, but the tines are extremely blunt. The tines won't go through hay, let alone manure, thus requiring a ton of effort for what should be easy work. I'm definitely going to have to pay more money to have the tines sharpened. For the amount of money I paid, I shouldn't have to pay more to make them meet my needs.
