Currently not available. The SERPETTE [sɛʁ.pɛt], English hip, is an indispensable tool for all gardeners. Its features are a curved blade that merges into an equally curved handle that gives the hand support when making a pulling cut. The principle is thousands of years old and today it may be adapted to special requirements, but it cannot be improved. The heart of a SERPETTE is its curved blade, which, unlike other knives, is flat forged on one side and is only beveled on the opposite side. Only in this way can it lie flat on the clippings and create a perfect cut.
PassionFrance manufactures a large model in its atelier in Thiers by hand with a handle length of 10 cm and blades of carbon steel. This steel does require some care, but is finer-grained than “stainless” steel and can therefore be sharpened more easily and razor-sharp. We use wenge as the handle material, a hard-wearing wood that can withstand the stresses and strains.
