OP113110: N010 Hawkbill Pruning Knife, Stainless Steel

Opinel

With its curved blade beveled on both sides the Opinel N010 pruning knife is the ideal tool for grape-picking, shrub pruning or cutting ties. Stabilized beechwood is ultra-resistant and comfortably contoured to fit the hand. The blade is made from 12C27 Sandvik Stainless steel, which will not rust, however, try to avoid leaving your Opinel knife in damp environments for too long and dry the blade after each use. This knife does not lock in the closed position.

Safety

  • This knife features the Virobloc Safety ring. The Virobloc safety ring was invented and implemented in 1955. This simple yet effective locking system greatly improved the original knife.The ability to help prevent the blade from opening when closed was added to the Virobloc in 2000.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Very specific tool
This knife is good for pruning, but very little else. If you own grapes or citrus, this is your tool. I thought I might be able to use it for several things, but really it's strictly for drupes and heavy tropical fruits. Holds a good edge. Oh, do not get the handle soaking wet, as it will swell and the blade will be almost impossible to open for two days until it dries.

hawkbill blades
This knife has the deep curve that I want but it also has some shortcomings. The body of the blade is rather thin, which makes it a little light weight for some of the heaver cuts I make. I use a knife like this during pollination season in date palms. The knife id perfect for the cut to thin the flowers, but a little light to trip the stray date thorn that has grown in the last couple of months. Also the lock is a twist of a second collar ring that wedges into the butt of the blade. It does not snap into locked position, but uses the wedge compression. It is not as secure as other types of blade locks, nor as sturdy. It does come with a nice edge and it does take a good edge with a hone. Works well for thinning grape of tomatoes, would give it a 4.5 for that, but too light weight for date palms.
