4" Folding Pruning Knife – Dual Blade Pocket Knife for Men with Wood Handle, Clip Point & Curved Pruning Blade – Small Folding Pocket Knife for Gardening, Outdoor, and Everyday Carry (EDC)

Great knife for around the garden. It's sharp right out of the package.

I am actually pretty shocked at the fit and finish of this knife in a very positive way. For under $10 this knife has the build quality of knives costing 10x what this one does. I am a collector of pocket knives and I also make my own knives, and I have to say on first impressions this knife is seriously very solid. I also used it to prune and the hawkbill is razor sharp and did what was expected. Well worth it.

For $8, I am ecstatic to have gotten an apparently decent knife. The shape feels comfortable in my hand and the blades are solid in their base and came nice and sharp. The blades themselves are fairly thin, but a knife like this shouldn't see much abuse at all. When it first came, blade opening and closing was a bit jerky, but after doing so several times they seem to have smoothed out. Lubrication probably just needed working in. There are two minor imperfections in my knife and the wood doesn't seem to be sealed, which is why I gave four stars instead of five.

For a made in China this is one finely crafted knife unlike the knife it replaced that was a thin light weight knife made in USA that would not hold an edge because of the worthless metals and low quality martials. Slowly replacing all of my knifes with Made in China quality knives.

I have seen reviews that say this could accidentally close, and no, this is not a lockback knife, but if you use any reasonable degree of care, that should not be an issue. Considering the angle with which you would use a hook bill knife, it’s very unlikely. This arrived sharp, good blade alignment, so it closes neatly, and finish is much better than I expected at this price point.

Ended up buying another after getting the first one. I originally bought the first for gardening and harvesting which does the job however read another review about using to open and break down boxes. Had to test it out. Surprisingly this knife is easier to use than a regular box cutter. Don’t get me wrong a box cutter works, just this curved hawkbill works just as well too and even handles better imho, gets between the edges quicker and with a straighter cut. I got the second one just for that to open the slew of delivery and amazon boxes more or less. If you get a zillion delivery boxes don’t see this as frivolous, saves time and aggravation using scissors or whatever is laying around. Also use it on the air filler packaging. Makes for quick work compressing boxes and packing material. Oh the gardening, I don’t see reasons for the complaints about the blade not being sharp enough, seems plenty sharp for harvesting vegetables. Anything sharper cut might call for another type of tool. Besides a knife or tool sharpener can make it to your preference. But out of box this knife works fine for my needs. I will say oddly the second knife blade is stamped stainless steel on the blade, first is not, but they are identical in the second pic. Guessing just a manufacturing irregularity. Great buy and bargain for a useful hawkbill knife.

I use it around the house to head roses, cut vines, and the like. It is much better than a straight blade for things like that. I also use it to open boxes from Amazon. It was decently sharp when it arrived. I have some diamond honing blocks but did not feel the need to use them. The wood on the handle is stained but otherwise not treated. For the time being I just rubbed some canola oil on it. The notches on the straight blade are not sharp. I have some miniature files I can use to fix that, but have not yet bothered. The notches may be good for stripping insulation from wires. I think this is a good value. ---- update December 15 2018 ---- I still like this knife very much and I have used it a lot. It's been very handy to be able to carry a good pruning knife in my pocket, and the curved blade has also opened a ton of amazon boxes. The wooden sides show no wear even though I have carried it in my pocket every day.

I really want to like this knife, it has a lot of great qualities going for it. It looks nice, it's easy to grip, it comes with a factory sharp edge, the blades have multiple uses including cutting twine and pruning plants with the straight blade. Sadly mine has one really annoying defect: the curved blade isn't aligned with the handle and closes naturally into the metal tang. You can even see a mark from the factory where it dug into the tang before packing and it managed to pass quality control and it was simply bent to fit into the slot. Unfortunately even with trying to bend it back, I'm afraid I'll make it worse and even with extreme pressure the bend is not permanent. Unless I very slowly close it while applying pressure the tip of this knife is just forever doomed to catch and leave some of the sharp edge exposed, and worse, constantly dull the blade.

Ótimo produto.

Excelente canivete, às lâminas são afiadas, requer cuidado na manipulação.

CONFORME ANUNCIO, PORÉM GRANDE

Muito melhor do que eu imaginei ! Pode confiar excelente produto, acabamento ótimo ! Superou minhas expectativas !

Se não for cortar nada mais duro que uma garrafa PET ou rebarbas de plástico ou tubo PVC e só quer cortar pão e batata(cozida), pode comprar sem medo. Não se engane pela beleza/design do mesmo; lamina tem material áspero e que não aguenta esforços laterais ou frontais. PERIGOSO para uso SEM OCULOS EPI. Ah! E veio com lamina torta e pinos do cabo faltando.
