If you have a green thumb, you may know the agony of heading outside first thing in the morning to garden, only to immediately misplace your garden snips or pruning shears.
Without these handy tools, you’re dead in the water when it comes to deadheading.
As a gardening “sage,” you know that having the right cutting tool is kind of a big “dill” when harvesting delicate herbs, too. You’ve known this for a long “thyme.” (Too many herb jokes?)
Speaking of time, after searching tirelessly for your missing snips or shears for hours, you soon realize you’ve lost something far more valuable than any tool: an entire morning that could’ve been spent enjoying the ecstasies of gardening!
If only there were a cutting tool that couldn’t cut and run.
Well, what if we told you there is such a tool? It’s called the Hands-Free Handy Safety Knife®, and here are all the ways this tool can change your gardening game.
It’s a Wearable Ring Knife: Yes, you read that right. The Handy Safety Knife® slides onto your finger like any other ring and stays put. Many of our models, like the Original Handy Safety Knife®, feature vinyl coatings, too, so they fit comfortably during prolonged periods of gardening.
It’s Safe: If wearing a ring knife sounds like a dangerous proposition, think again. It’s called a Handy Safety Knife® for a reason. These tools are designed to prevent you from injuring yourself while wearing them. Take the Ball Point Safety Knife®, for example. The blade terminates in a blunt, round tip to protect the wearer.
Its Uses Are Endless: What can you do in the garden with one of these tiny tools? First, there are the obvious applications:
pruning
harvesting flowers, berries, vegetables, and/or herbs,
deadheading spent flowers, dethorning roses,
and cutting stems or leaves for propagation.
You can also use the Handy Safety Knife® to open bags of fertilizer, epsom salts, bone meal, mulch, or gardening soil.
Need to cut netting to protect your plants from pests? Or twine to support plants like beans and tomatoes? Go for it! As you garden, you will undoubtedly identify countless other ways to put this tool to work for you.
It’s Easy to Maintain and Durable: These ring knives are little enough that maintaining them is a snap. It’s easy to clean a blade with such a small surface area!
Worried about them rusting as a result of using them for moist or muddy gardening applications? Our Razor’s Edge™ Safety Knife is made of steel and chromium to resist rust. You can also ask us to add protective coatings to your blades, which extend the life of the product by a factor of three.
It’s a Time Saver: Even if you know where your cutting tools are, making countless trips to your gardening shed to retrieve them takes time. The Handy Safety Knife® stays on your hand, serving as your constant companion in gardening so you can cut and move on to the next task without interruptions.
We mentioned earlier that this is a Hands Free tool, too. This means you can complete other gardening work while wearing it. You will love being able to stay in the moment and go with the gardening flow without taking the time to manage your Handy Safety Knife®.
In conclusion, if you have a green thumb, consider keeping one of your fingers free for a Handy Safety Knife®. These small, affordable tools have the potential to change your gardening game for the better!
