Professional knife for garden work. It is a handy helper for weeding, grafting or shortening stems. The semi-matte polished blade is made of stainless steel. The zero-grind flat-ground edge combined with the small blade thickness guarantees above-average cutting performance.
The knife opens by pulling the cut-out on the blade. In the open position the knife is secured by a patented Viroblock safety ring. This safety device consists of a steel ring located on the handle at the level of the blade’s pivot point. After opening the knife, the ring is rotated by a few degrees so that it covers the gap between the edge and the handle. When fully opened, the blade is locked. The knife is locked in the same way when it is closed again.
The handle of the knife is made of beech wood. To ensure a firm and comfortable grip, the handle is ergonomically shaped.
