Because raw plant sap is highly acidic and sticky, always take a quick moment after a hard day in the orchard or vineyard to wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth, dry it thoroughly, and apply a drop of mineral oil to the pivot pin. This ensures the folding action stays buttery smooth and your heirloom horticultural tool performs flawlessly for generations!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48528589684836,"sku":"YO113110","price":59.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/NoPackaging_600b1ed9-21d1-49da-9f29-d5b9eebe0865.png?v=1780679672","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/opinel-n-10-pruning-knife-premium-large-curved-billhook-folding-horticultural-knife","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
