Hi. I worked in a flower shop for a lot of years, and we used Victorinox florist knives. The textured handle is for keeping a grip on the knife with wet fingers. The chisel grind and sheep's foot are for stem cutting work. An edge beveled on both sides will not work as well with that technique that you alluded to, but this blade will slice delicate flower stems without crushing the capillaries. I left the industry a long time ago and still use them as every day pocket knives.
I've had one of these since 1989. Makes a great edc blade that can do a multitude of tasks with the warncliff style blade. It's excellent for carving and doing precision and draw cuts. Mine still has a very snappy lockup after all these years. You should sharpen both sides, holding to the factory angle. I usually sharpen the primary edge the most aggressively and debur the back or flat edge and then put on a micro bevel. Depending on your use, you may want to sharpen it like a kiridashi blade like for carpentry work or actual agricultural applications.
I may come back to this when I need to sharpen it for reference. Cheers, brother! Mine is snappy and a really good sound to it. Because it's Pinchable, I find myself fidgeting with it when I carry this. It's done you a good service then...1989. That's brilliant. Love comments like this. Apologies it took so long to reply! Thanks brother 🫡 👊
This, the Pruner, and the Swiss Army 1 are my favorite Victorinoxes … I’m a simple man😆 The grind allows for low drag, clean cuts, which is important when cutting flowers. Good stuff as always, mate👊🏻
I saw on one of your videos you saying you like single bladed SAKs. I've got my fair share. I like the single/double bladed ones to brother. Also I agree with you on that other Victorinox. U-G-L-Y it ain't got no alibi! 🫡
Cheers, Stu! It's good for the money for sure. I'll EDC it for a bit. See how I get on? Initial impressions are good. I need to get that knife in the post mate. Apologies
Nice!! I use my Bullbuster for Gardening ,I have a huge yard which is more or less a small forest but we do have a proper garden i just picked some veggies n spices cuz its starting to snow here so snagged em before they rot.
I'd love a bull buster! It's definitely one I want in the collection. Mate, I'm a gardener at heart. I came from farmers on my Dad's side. My little nod to them, I suppose.
That’s a cool little knife, I’m tempted to pick one up. I like a chisel grind for some jobs. I have an old Tina hawk bill but that’s the only pruner/gardener knife I have. Thanks for sharing!!👍😀
Simple and sweet at a great price. I have a chisel edge Emmerson, cuts great but I don't know if it's really any better. I had a slipjoint close up on me 😁 Was my own fault though. Excellent video mate!
I have one of these in Lilac which I thought was more appropriate for a florist knife and also added a very different colour to the vic collection! But I'm embarrassed to say my floral Lilac gardening knife gave quite a nasty bite!
Good evening 🌜Comparing flowers cut with a florist knife🌷 and flowers cut with scissors✄‥Flowers cut with a florist knife🌷 last longer✨!! This is because the scissors ✄ crush the ducts that suck up water in the stems. Flower shops in Japan also use Victorinox knives if they know this. It is also suitable for grafting fruit trees! Kiridashi knives are also a standard in Japan. I would definitely like to get a florist knife too 😂✨!!
Morning pal , great knife iv got a vintage one with no cross on the handle , have you ever seen the TINA ones there German quite expensive but the handle is beautiful I got one years ago ,sadly with no snap but a great whittler 👊
@@SteelCityKnivesI also had one like the black German vintage one you posted a pic of not as nice as the pic you showed as that's like the Tina ones ,but the one I had was a lovely little user just a great simple design........gonna dig mine out now you have inspired me 😂👍
They do a left and right handed in this Gizmo. Which totally makes sense with this blade grind. I like the sound of your Excel sheet, mate. Mine is a more basic Word document. It shows how my knife collecting has developed definitely. Good reference when selling or trading.
I have the purple handled one I was on Victorinox official website to get an Alox Solo when I browsed around and saw these, wanted to get one to see what the handle material was like very impressed with build quality, I won't buy from Amazon for ethical reasons they dodge tax and put smaller companies out of business so f**k them, I prefer Alox but have ordered a the Victorinox waiter to see how it compares with the Swiza DO1 I also ordered, always been a bit suspicious about the plastic on Victorinox so will compare the two. Also ordered some slips which are sold out so waiting for Heinnie Haynes to complete order, yes I know I said I had stopped buying now I have four more knives, Rabbit hole's are dangerous. lol
You were doing so well. It's a slippery slope 😂🤣. I know what you mean about Amazon!! Pay your dues!! Never had a Swiza....May have to try them. What slips did you go for?
@@SteelCityKnives I got the Apta Red handle been dithering about it for ages glad I got it great knife, I also got the Shrade 123 OT, just legal to carry, bought from Cyclaire Knives and Tools. As I said I have ordered the Swiza DO1 no lock version and the Victorinox Waiter for comparison its only £17:95 so no big loss if I don't like it, both knives coming from Heinnie Haynes. 😁
@Moontrak I think a lot of people probably have done that. But I kinda like the chisel grind. It is very unique in my collection. I like it. Really enjoy this knife and very affordable. Cheers mate

Thanks for the insight. I've been carrying it since I did the video. I love it! Gets wicked sharp. Thanks Johathan 👊
Great video, thanks.
I think the blade is only 0.05 thick. It must be very slicey if so.@SteelCityKnives

Victorinox made them for a company called Felco if I recall correctly.
Felco sold shears, secateurs, etc, as well
Felco ones are still around, aren't they? Cheers for that info, Graham. Sorry for the late reply, mate. 🫡

Definitely UGLY!!
@@TimsSchoolOfFish am exactly the same. Wish 84 mm alox with only 2 items, blade and scissor.
I like this one, I need to pick one of these up! Thanks for the look at it, buddy!
Thanks, David. Unique carry 🇨🇭
Great buy. Picked one up a few months ago. Love your frugal videos brother. Cheers 🍻
Hey Cheato 👊
I like how Pinchable Open It is. I should have got the black one, though 😎
Hope you're good, brother 🙏
Cool! Never knew victorinox made a chisel grind blade, thanks.
The first one I've had, Steve. I'll see how I get on with it. Cheers mate 👊
So tempted to pick on of these up, and the pruner as well.
Great looking knife, and great vid buddy, thanks for sharing 😁

If they are as cheap as they are here. You can't go wrong! 👊 🫡

Hazards of the hobby 🤣😂🤣
I wanted in another colour, but I'm tight, and this was the cheapest 😅

@@drewwhite5601 Brilliant pattern. Really good in the hand
You sometimes see this edge in both left hand and right hand knife models.👍
They do a left and right handed in this Gizmo. Which totally makes sense with this blade grind.

Just sharp both sides and re-shape the tip.

@@SteelCityKnives yes the handle makes this knife better.
Good one to point out .
Hi Alan! Hope you're good, mate? Good to hear from you. I carried it today. The grind is definitely different. I'm still getting a feel for it.🫡
