Know before you buy

The knife features a secure sliding locking mechanism. This ensures the blade stays firmly in place while you are working and keeps it safely tucked away when you are carrying it in your pocket.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. To keep it in top shape, simply wipe the blade clean after each use and ensure it is dry before folding it back into the handle.
The handle is designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring a smooth stainless steel finish that provides a secure, comfortable grip. Its slim profile makes it easy to handle for a variety of hand sizes during extended gardening sessions.
While the product specifications list it as a dibber-style tool, it is primarily a cutting instrument. It is best used for delicate pruning and harvesting rather than digging into hard soil, which could damage the blade edge.
