Forged iron device. Two iron bars have forged cutting edges at 90 degrees to axis of bars. These bars converge below with one continuing to form shaft that is inserted into a trench top for using the device. Next to the inner bar is a cam at end of a handle. By pressing the handle down, the cutting edge on the inner bar is forced closed against that of outer bar.
