Sneeboer Pottery/Container Knife

Born from a gardener’s frustration, this thoughtfully designed tool solves one of the most common challenges in container gardening—removing root-bound plants cleanly, without damaging roots or cracking pots. The long, flat stainless steel blade slides easily between the root ball and container wall, while its flexibility allows it to follow the shape of the pot for smooth, controlled movement. Sharpened on both sides, it cuts efficiently in any direction, and the square tip is designed to sever roots that have escaped through drainage holes. Winner of the Chelsea Product of the Year 2020, this is a true problem-solving tool—ideal for everything from balcony containers to larger planting projects—making repotting faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive to your plants.  A tool you never knew you needed, but should never live without.  Type of Tool: Container knife Function of tool: Potting and repotting
