Know before you buy
Carbon steel is prized for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge and is easy to resharpen, though it requires more care to prevent rust. Stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion and moisture, making it ideal for tasks involving damp soil or wet plants.
The Virobloc is a rotating collar on the handle that locks the blade in the open position for safe cutting, or in the closed position to prevent accidental opening during transport.
These knives are designed for precision tasks like harvesting, light pruning, and general garden maintenance. They are not intended to replace heavy-duty loppers or saws for thick, woody branches.
To prevent oxidation, always wipe the carbon steel blades clean and dry immediately after use. Applying a light coat of food-safe mineral oil before storing them will help protect the metal from rust.
Yes, the handles feature the classic Opinel shape, which is contoured to fit comfortably in the palm. This design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like harvesting or trimming.
