Premium German craftsmanship

A precision planting knife crafted using traditional German forging techniques. Designed for control and versatility, this double-edged blade is suited to creating planting holes, separating root balls, trimming roots and working carefully in tighter spaces.

Slim, strong and well balanced, it offers accuracy without bulk. Built from high-carbon steel and paired with a riveted ash handle, this is a durable tool designed for long service rather than seasonal replacement.

Perfect for Australian conditions

The sharp carbon steel blade moves cleanly through firm soils and dense root systems, making it ideal for planting tubestock, dividing perennials and maintaining raised beds in Australian gardens where precision matters.
