Burgon & Ball - Vegetable Harvesting Knife – Forged High-Carbon Steel Serrated Knife

Burgon & Ball Vegetable Harvesting Knife – Forged High-Carbon Steel Serrated Knife

The Burgon & Ball Vegetable Harvesting Knife is a purpose-built tool designed for the efficient harvesting of thick-stemmed brassicas and other substantial garden crops. Its specialized curved blade features aggressive serrated teeth, allowing it to "grip" and saw through tough, fibrous stalks—like those of cabbage or broccoli—with minimal effort. Forged from high-carbon steel, this knife is built for longevity and remains a favorite for allotment holders and kitchen gardeners who need a reliable blade that delivers a clean, professional cut every time.

Best For: Harvesting heavy-duty vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, where a standard smooth blade might slip or struggle.

Key Features

• Curved Serrated Blade: The distinctive crescent shape combined with sharp serrated teeth ensures the blade stays engaged with the stem throughout the cut, preventing slipping and ensuring safety.
• Forged High-Carbon Steel: The blade is forged for maximum durability, providing the strength needed to tackle woody stems without bending or dulling prematurely.
• Clean Cut Performance: Designed to provide a surgical-like finish to the harvest, which helps prevent the remaining plant from rotting and keeps the produce looking its best for the kitchen.
• Ergonomic FSC® Hardwood Handle: Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood, the handle provides a secure, traditional grip that remains comfortable even when applying the pressure needed for thick stalks.
• Optimal Leverage: At 30cm in length, the knife offers the perfect balance of reach and leverage for working at ground level or within dense foliage.

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.
