Silicone Thumb Knife, Gardening Knife, Kitchen Tools, Vegetable Finger Pickers-L

I love the idea of these, however, they didn't work for me. Since our hands are unique to us - size, strength, shape and the way in which we move them - there is no way to tell if these will work for you without trying them. My fingers don't bend in a way that puts the blade in the proper position to cut a stem easily. It also rubs uncomfortably against a bone in my thumb. It could, very well, be a helpful and time saving tool if it it fits you like it should.

As a gardener, I often have stained nails from pruning or deadheading. This little tool looked like a good idea but I wasn't sure how it would actually pan out. Both the silicone and knit pieces fit well on my fingers. (While I have large hands, I don't have fat fingers, so average sized). It takes a little practice to get the right angle but once I did, they worked very well and I didn't experience any damage to the finger used as the stop. The protective cover is useless as is, but with a bit of a trim, it should better fit the blade. The blade sits in a curved position and the little cover is straight across. I'll just trim a crescent shape from the edge. Just haven't done that yet. I give them a sharp thumb's up.

Good quality and sharp

I love using these for pruning leaves off my plants! Clean cuts. They do take some getting used to at first but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze. Great for tomatoes & all other plants!

The blade would get hung up on the protector sleeve and if you didn't have it on level it wouldn't cut.

Love it, makes things so easy to get and saves time. Loved it so much that I gave the spare one to a friend so others could know the joy as well lol (they love it too). Originally saw this a year ago online and thought it was a little be unnecessary, I regret not getting it sooner. Gardening time saved means more time for planting more stuff :-)

Rev. 12/2022I found these again in the shed. (I never did find the Jolly Green Giant to give them to.) At the time I was wearing a pair of well fitting gloves so slipped the small size on my thumb and middle finger and they stayed attached to the glove. Though I can’t attest to it, I suppose the large may have like results when worn on a man’s similarly gloved hand.I purchased two sets of these to use for the trimming of tender vines and branches and the pinching off flowers, vegetables, and fruits. One set in a size small for our daughter to use at her home, and another in large for me. They are strong and very sharp and come with a blade cover with good reason, and they are certainly capable of doing the job.The sizing was very disappointing! Imagine my surprise when, despite labeling to the contrary, they were virtually the same size. Both were huge, constantly and dangerously falling off our digits and rendering them hazardously useless.I’m not a fine boned female gardener so it seems that, at the very least, the small should have fit me. It didn’t.

I bought it to dead head my plants but the blade lost sharpness too quickly. I was able to sharpen the blade using a wet stone. But I have to sharpen after each use. Also, I don't use my thumb so it fits loosely on my finger. It's a great idea but didn't fit my needs.
