Rite Edge 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)

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.

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.

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.

Well made knife that should last a long time and at a fair price, what's not to like? The blades open and close smoothly and they are plenty sharp for any Garden task. The two blade shapes are are very useful around the yard and garden. Nice size for your hand and your pocket.

This seems like a great knife, haven't used it yet, but want to say the size measurements are way off. They are much better than the product description page: overall closed size: 4" NOT 2.5! full opened length 7" [the measurements given don't even seem to add up!] Fits in the hand nicely. Seems sharp but who knows after use.. nice wood handle, seems well made overall. Already cut myself!

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.

Hook / Hawkbill knives, as a style of knife, have been around for a long time. Circa, 1920-40, first made as a pocket knife by Case Brothers Cutlery. This type of knife has I think historically, when it comes to using a hook knife as a tradesman, it has been used to cut carpet, or long cuts for linoleum floor covering. I had a hook knife when I was a kid working on our farm. Remember the word I used earlier "historically". I have a little bit of historical perspective myself, since I will have my 71st. Birthday this November 27, 2022. I purchased this "Rite Edge Pruning Knife", just to have and enjoy it, to remember some of my childhood and have it as an every-day-carry. So, enough about me; This IS a credible knife and I WILL be using it as a tool while working in my vegetable garden, cutting string, pruning plants and other tasks. The handle is a smooth synthetic wood and well made, as are the stainless-steel blades. I am enjoying my purchase and would recommend it to others. Having said all that, one last caveat: For those of you who want to purchase American Made USA Knives, this Rite Edge knife is made in China. Hope this helps you with your potential purchase. Best and Blessed to all.. \:O).>>>

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.
