Folding pruning knives in bulk for tobacconists in wine country
At pruning time as at harvest, the winegrower stops at the village tobacconist before heading into the rows: the folding pruning knife by the till reminds him of the tool he lost the day before. NKM, wholesaler of practical knives for tobacconists since 1982, distributes it in its Léopard range, alongside the Laguiole Bougna line.
Why it sells at the village tobacconist
- • Immediate need: a pruning knife lost in the vines is replaced the same morning.
- • Two strong seasons: winter pruning and the September harvest revive demand.
- • Seasonal workers: grape pickers equip themselves locally without knowing the shops.
- • Straight or hooked blade: everyone finds the shape they are used to.
