Key Features

High Carbon Steel Cutting Blade

The Zenport K801 features a high carbon steel blade measuring 1.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches long.

Ergonomic Design

Equipped with a 14.75-inch shaft and a 5-inch wooden handle, the K801 is designed to provide ease of use and maximum leverage. The ergonomic wooden handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip, reducing the risk of slippage during use and enhancing overall safety and control. The handle's design helps reduce hand fatigue, allowing for prolonged use without discomfort.

Enhanced Functionality

Ideal for Harvesting Asparagus

The Zenport K801 is specifically designed to cut asparagus spears 1 to 2 inches below the soil level during harvest. This ensures that the spears are cut cleanly without damaging the developed buds or the crown. It is essential to never cut the asparagus spears within 2 inches of the crown to avoid damage to the developed buds. Additionally, the knife should not be used to cut spears above the ground, leaving stubs behind.
