I have had this in the garage since my kids were in the 4-H goat club years ago. I have not had animals in years and clearing it out. The handles are very thick metal and the head with the cutting edges is build strong too. It is 18" long and the opening is three inches long and over one and a quater inches across. I used it three times and can't remember where I bought it. I have painted it recently. Buyer will be pleased with it's condition. Ships for Free.
