Draper 67068 Slimline Pruning Knife, Black

I bought this primarily for pruning a large, neglected cordyline. It works well, cutting through tough, dried leaves and stems. It's very slim line, so it's handy. However working with it for a while, the handle starts to her a little uncomfortable on bear hands. But just wear gloves. It's kept it's edge well and sharpened easily.

It has a locked blade so is unfortunately illegal to carry in public but I'm very pleased with it.A very sharp edge which I hope it keeps.

Only problem I have is that I find the knife difficult to close after use due to arthritis in my fingers.

it shows in pictuyre but not in details that it has a lock this means it is not legal to carry as an edc, I put in uk legal knives and this knife came up. it is sharp and feels nice as it going to be a knife for odd jobs at allotment and fields it will be okay but if i had in pocket and forgot then i can be done. so not happy it not say has a lock as i just brought as came up uk legal and no note saying had a lock on it.

First time using knife instead of the secutares and has proved to be more precise and only have to carry one cutting tool now

I’ve recently taken over an allotment garden and wanted a decent pruning knife, hence my purchase. When it arrived it was sharp ‘out of the box’ and very impressively so. In the past I’ve bought knives and you have to spend some time sharpening them to get a good edge, but this was perfect and required no additional work. I have used it on my allotment and for lots of other daily tasks, as it is no my daily go to knife. It is well balanced, and has a easy lock/unlock mechanism which can be completed using one hand, so once opened it locks into place.UPDATE - I purchased the knife on 15th January and started using it, but by the end of June the spring mechanism had broken and it no longer locks in position and the blade just flops about. I was really disappointed as you can see you my review above I really liked it. However, having used it for 5 months it is no broken beyond repair. My advice is to steer clear of it.

Sleek sharp positive locking garden knife, great value at £6.99. I have many legal to carry folding knives but have almost come a cropper several times when they have folded in use. No such risk with this easy to carry (non street legal) knife,. Ideal in the garden clearing between slabs, pruning and dead heading, also sharp enough for some whittling. I am currently making walking sticks from blackthorn and this works well . Good investment for any gardener.

Good strudy knife just right for my gardening jobs.
