Description
The Tina 685 budding knife is a masterpiece of German forge-craft, designed for precision budding and bark work. The high-carbon blade maintains a scalpel-sharp edge, and the olive wood handle develops a rich patina with years of dedicated garden use.
A Gardener’s Heirloom
The bark lifter slips beneath cambium with the confidence only a hand-forged edge provides.
Each budding cut carries the promise of new fruit—your craft shaping the orchard’s future.
Forged in the Black Forest
Tina has hand-forged garden blades near Freiburg since 1727—nearly three centuries of mastery.
Olive wood from Mediterranean groves is shaped and oiled to resist moisture and age with grace.
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
