A transfer device for material such as cannabis is provided for use with a grinding device and includes a flexible sheet material formed or molded around a hollow interior to define a generally tubular body which has a base wall and two side walls standing upwardly from the base wall. One end of the generally tubular body forms a scraper edge where the sides are recessed to form a shovel area over the base. The other end of the body forms a pinch end where the side walls converge to an upper slot which can be squeezed together to close the slot in a pinching action so as to pinch the material within the hollow interior between the side walls for manual transfer. The body is narrower at the second end so that material scraped into the body is converged by the side walls in the form of a funnel.
