HUBERTUS Folding Garden Knife Hippe Carbon Steel

HUBERTUS Folding Garden Knife Hippe Pruning Knife Carbon Steel Article No. 77.206.HZ.11

A traditional folding pruning knife from HUBERTUS in Solingen with a finely sharpened curved blade made of classic C45 carbon steel. The elegant “Hippe” blade shape has been used for generations in vineyards, orchards and gardens, where precise and controlled cuts are essential. Carbon steel holds an exceptionally keen edge and can easily be resharpened, making it a practical working tool for gardeners, florists and anyone who enjoys working close to nature.

The warm Bubinga wood handle, secured with brass rivets, gives the knife a balanced feel in the hand and a timeless appearance. Opening is simple and reliable with the traditional nail nick, keeping the mechanism clean, durable and uncomplicated in everyday use.

What is a “Hippe”? In gardening terminology it describes a knife with a curved blade used for pruning and harvesting. In another, more poetic sense, the word also refers to the scythe often associated with the figure of death. Yet the sweetest “Hippe” of all is something entirely different: a delicate rolled wafer pastry made from sugar, egg white, flour and cream. While still warm it is shaped into hollow tubes and hardens as it cools. Perfect with ice cream, wonderful to look through, delightful to bite into. Eat enough of them and no one will ever call you a “thin Hippe”. Hip hip hooray.
