No.08 Pruning Knife vs. a Standard Gardening Knife
A generic gardening knife uses a straight blade that crushes soft stems; the No.08's curved profile slices cleanly for faster plant recovery. Versus a heavy pruner, it's lighter, pocketable, and better for precise harvesting work.
Sharpening & Care
Wipe the blade dry after use and touch up the edge with a fine stone or Opinel's own sharpener. A drop of oil on the pivot keeps the fold smooth for seasons of garden use.
