How to use

Open the blade fully before use and confirm it locks in the open position if the tool has a locking mechanism. Hold the handle with a firm grip and position the blade against the material to be cut, using controlled, even pressure for a clean cut. For harvesting, make cuts close to the stem base to avoid damage to the remaining plant. After use, fold the blade back into the handle and store the knife in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the blade after contact with sap or soil and dry it to reduce corrosion risk. Periodically check the blade edge and sharpen with a fine stone or file as needed for precise cutting. Avoid using the knife on hard materials or thick wood to prevent blade damage.
