Practical presents for new allotment holders

Not everyone wants a polished wood handle in a muddy garden. This full-size all-steel serpette knife, with a 7.2 cm hook and a 9.1 cm handle, suits people who value low upkeep:

  • Someone who has just taken on an allotment or a community garden plot.
  • A horticulture student starting their first practical year.
  • A volunteer at a community orchard or garden project.
  • A Secret Santa for the colleague who talks about nothing but tomatoes.

It weighs just 49 g, so it goes into a pocket and stays there all season.

Care & maintenance

Wash, dry, oil: all-steel care in three moves

An all-steel knife can go under the tap without a second thought, which is its main advantage over wood. Keep it working smoothly with a simple routine:

  • After work in wet soil, rinse grit out of the joint by opening and closing the blade under running water.
  • Dry it thoroughly, then leave it open for an hour before folding so no water stays trapped in the handle.
  • Avoid the dishwasher: harsh detergent dulls the polish and the hot cycle strips out all lubricant.
  • Add a drop of light machine oil to the pivot at the start and end of the season.

Even a stainless Pakistan knife can stain if it is stored wet in a toolbox, so the drying step matters most.

Questions & answers

All-steel pruning knife: questions and answers

What is the Pakistan knife price for this all-steel pruner?

US$2.70 per piece (PKR 1,256 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$1.89 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Will the steel handle be slippery?

Steel is smoother than wood, so grip depends partly on how you hold it. Keep the butt pressed into your palm and pull rather than push, and it stays secure. In wet, cold weather a thin garden glove helps.
