• Safe Folding Design: Features a secure folding mechanism that allows the blade to be safely tucked away into the handle, enabling safe transport in an apron pocket or tool roll while protecting the surgical edge from damage when not in use.

• Ultra-Lightweight 30g Handling: At just 30 grams, this knife offers unmatched maneuverability and finesse, significantly reducing hand fatigue during intensive, high-volume arrangement sessions or all-day wedding prep.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
