Description It may be dubbed the No.07 Chestnut and Garlic knife, but this small folding knife can do a whole lot more than peel garlic and score chestnuts. The snub nose of the blade makes this knife ideal for small, precise cuts, so while it’s great for pitting apricots, plums and other stone fruits, it is also an excellent tool for whittling wood! With a chestnut wood handle and a short and sturdy stainless steel blade, the No.07 Chestnut Knife is compact, lightweight, and efficient.
