SZCO Supplies Rite Edge Hawkbill Pruning Knife

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.

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

Great blade, handle and lock. Very impressed. Quality not reflected in price. Highly recommended!

Curve of the blade is effective for my use.Blade is thicker than I expected. It has a ring to attach a cord to prevent it from getting lost.

Great value for money super and I mean super strong lockback and plus a little stiff which is goodSomewhat sharp for a factory blade edge.But SUPER ugly reddish wood grain (forgot to take a picture )Pictures are from my own stain I bought 100% better and recommend, if you don’t like the wood stain as well and you can chose other satinsThe one I used was ( American chestnut )

Good

Knife arrived with crack in the wood grip by one of the brass fixtures. I kept it and used it as is. Not very costly. Very sharp blade.

Just received this knife. Very nice knife regardless of price. I got for less than 10 bucks! I have bought a number of "cheap" folding pocket knives recently and this one blows them away. I got to use weeding flower beds. I wanted to try a hawkbill for reaching in and cutting tougher weeds off where they come out of the ground and general pruning. It caught my eye being a lockback I thought it would be a little safer pushing the knife in where I couldn't see. Haven't tried it for that yet but, it is more than I expected quality wise. Frankly, I am blown away by the fit and finish of this inexpensive little knife. Very solid lockup with no movement or play in the blade when open. I may serrate the blade to give it a better ripping edge to keep it cutting longer as it dulls from use. But, if you are interested in this style knife and assuming this one is a representative example of the general fit and finish , you won't be disappointed. Beautiful little folding pruner. Probably good for breaking down cardboard as well.
