SZCO Supplies Black Pruning Folding Knife Classic Buffalo Horn 203048BK

SZCO Black Pruning Folding Knife -  Crafted for Tradition. Built for Today

The SZCO Black Pruning Folding Knife is a modern interpretation of a time-tested design rooted in 19th-century horticultural tools. Originally developed for pruning orchards and gardens across Europe and North America, the hawkbill blade shape was favored for its curved edge, allowing for accurate, controlled cuts through tough stems and branches without damaging surrounding foliage. SZCO revives that legacy with a compact, thoughtfully constructed folding knife designed for both modern users and traditionalists.

At the core of this tool is a 2.18-inch stainless steel hawkbill blade. Shaped like a claw, the blade lends itself to pull cuts that improve precision and reduce wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks. It's highly effective for trimming vines, cutting twine, harvesting herbs, and handling various light-duty utility jobs. Whether you're maintaining a vegetable garden, working in the yard, or in need of a compact utility knife for your toolbox or outdoor gear, this blade delivers reliable performance.

The handle, crafted from genuine Black Buffalo Horn, provides a smooth, natural grip that’s both durable and visually refined. Paired with a polished stainless steel bolster, it balances classic styling with rugged functionality. Brass and silver pins reinforce the construction, ensuring long-term strength while adding artisan detail. No two knives are exactly alike—each one carries subtle distinctions in the horn grain, lending a handcrafted character to every piece.

This folder operates with a nail nick opening and traditional slip joint lock, emphasizing simplicity and dependability over gimmicks. At just 3 inches closed, the knife fits easily in a pocket, glove box, or garden apron, making it an accessible tool you’ll want to keep close at hand.

Designed for those who value craftsmanship, heritage, and practicality, the SZCO Black Pruning Folding Knife bridges old-world tradition with everyday usefulness. It’s a tribute to the tools that shaped the work of generations, reimagined for the modern user who refuses to compromise on quality or style.
