The Darlac Pruning and Budding Knife features a hardwood handle for a traditional feel, while still being comfortable to use. The two rust-resistant stainless steel blades on this gardening knife are easy to keep clean – an important factor in avoiding cross contamination. The curved pruning blade is perfect for all light pruning jobs, while the straight budding blade can be used for taking cuttings or grafting, using the bark lifter on the end of the blade.
