Among the tools we routinely use the tree nursery are knives. Hand clippers are probably used the most on our trees and plants, but second would certainly be knives.
We use both fixed blade knives and folding knife blades during most tasks in the tree nursery. Not that one has greater preference or use over the other, but moreso depends on which one is most handy at the time of need. Both are useful tools in the tree nursery.
In the field, trees and twigs are cut for various reasons, dead trees are removed with a knife, so having a folding blade knife at-hand aides in the tasks.
As we do primarily mail-order, hence a mail-order nursery, folding blade knives have a "hundred and one uses" in the packing shed. Shipping supplies arrive, boxes are cut, excess tree lengths are trimmed back, we use a fixed blade or folding knife blade to cut paper and string, tape, and occaisionally fingers...
No tree nursery is complete without an office, and here a folding knife blade is more handy than any other hand tool. Boxes and papers are cut, string, tape, and other packing materials are severed using the folding knife blades, and if the band-aids are secure enough, we don't cut fingers...
The tree nursery would come to a virtual halt if we didnt have the fixed knife blades, and completely halted if we did not have the folding knife blades.

As a matter of interest, in our ebay store, we are offering a number of folding knife blades. We have plenty, so how many do you want?
