Pottery/ Container Knife

Pottery/ Container Knife

The Pottery/ Container Knife from Sneeboer was born from a real gardener’s frustration — and it shows. Designed specifically to solve the challenge of removing root-bound plants from pots without damaging roots or cracking containers, this hand-forged tool brings over a century of Dutch craftsmanship to one of the most common tasks in container gardening. Made in the Netherlands from the finest stainless steel, it is a tool built to last a lifetime and beyond.

Hand-Forged Stainless Steel Blade for Effortless Repotting

The long, flat, flexible blade slides smoothly between root ball and container wall, while the dual-sharpened edges let you work in any direction without repositioning. The square, sharpened tip slices through roots that have escaped through drainage holes — no more wrestling or broken pots.

Ergonomic Red Beech Handle for Comfortable, Confident Control

Sneeboer paired the blade with a beautifully shaped red beech wood grip that fits naturally in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended repotting sessions. It is the kind of thoughtful detail that comes only from a maker with more than a century of expertise combining tradition and innovation.

• Dual-sharpened edges on both sides of the blade — work in any direction for faster, cleaner cuts
