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

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 specialised 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 favourite for allotment holders and kitchen gardeners who need a reliable blade that delivers a clean, professional cut every time.

Crafted with a focus on durability and ergonomics, this knife features a handle made from FSC® certified sustainably sourced hardwood. The traditional design ensures a secure grip, while the 30cm length provides the optimal balance of reach and leverage when working within dense foliage. This knife delivers a surgical-like finish to your harvest, helping to prevent the remaining plant from rotting and keeping your produce looking its best for the kitchen.
