Rite Edge Hawkbill Pruning Knife – 4” Folding Garden Knife with Stainless Steel Blade, Lockback Mechanism, and Wooden Handle – Ideal for Grafting, Trimming, Landscaping, Budding, and Harvesting

2016: A good all-around pruning or box cutting blade. Folds, but locks open, a plus. A little stiff to unlock and close, but not a major issue. I carefully sharpened the blade to a steeper (sharper) angle than is typical for a garden blade and it has held up well enough. I appreciate the wood handle aesthetics; the edges of some parts are a little blockier than one would want for a display or presentation piece -- but it is a good solid working knife. EDIT 2024: all the above continues to be true, although over the years, the stiffness of the blade locking eases a little. I have bought a total of about 10 of these over the years, either as gifts for gardeners or to put in various working spaces. Still remains an excellent tool. Like it so well, I have one or two still in boxes in case I need one more. I want to give one to somebody.

Great knife. Sharp, constructed well and will be great when foraging for mushrooms.

Offer great value. The sharpness is nothing to complain about. I do think the complaints of it not being that sharp is just somewhat right. I simply took my Smiths tool sharpener and ran the knife through it about 8 times and it was absolutely as sharp as any knife could be. It is easy to hold and use. I like the fact the blade locks which makes it safe. It fits easily into my pocket and is the perfect size for a grafting knife or for opening up packages. I purchased two and they are a lot of bang for the buck. I do think I will have these for a long time.

Decent knife. Came sharp but needed honing. Good sturdy blade

excellent quality and good price

Ok

Hawk bills are great for cutting a bandage off of someone as the tip gets under the bandage. I also use mine to cut hoses off of automotive components when they become stuck but are leaking elsewhere. These knives are also handy to cut weeds in a garden. They would not be a great self defense knife but would work and probably make large gashes if used that way. The shape is similar to the kerambit which is used in Phillipino Kali, but there is not as pronounced of a point on this knife and stabbing causes more trauma than cuts.

Not to bad for price. My Klein broke tip off yrs ago after dropping it. I made it work so I see this copy because the new Kleins are removable blade type not a big fan of, so I did about 50 12Ga Romex jobs still holding up. Steel has more flex in it then the old Hawk blade maybe that’s a hood thing. I have every splitter made, still like my knife
