Sneeboer Pottery/Container Knife
Do you have difficulties while repotting your plants and shrubs, to loosen their grip on terracotta pots/containers? The Sneeboer Pottery/ Container knife with a long, flat, flexible blade which is sharpened on both sides is the solution!
To rejuvenate a plant during spring you have to part or tear a plant, and therefore it must first be removed from its pot. However, this can present its own challenges when the roots of the plants have grown into the porous parts of a pot. To cut the plant out of the pot, Sneeboer developed the Pottery knife in 2019 which was shortlisted in 2020 for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show best new product of the year! Also demonstrated by Monty Don and his Agapanthus, BBC Gardeners’ World Ep. 12 2022. & Ep. 5 2024 (@ 30mins 28secs)
- To cut the roots the knife can used with a forward and a backward motion; for this reason both, sides of the blade has been sharpened.
- The handle has been constructed in a way that your hand does not slip onto the blade with the forward or backward motion.
- Because there are so many variations in pots and containers, the knife is quite long to be able to deal with many of the different sizes and shapes.
- The end of the blade is almost squared off with a shard edge. If the plants roots have grown through the excess water hole, you can still easily cut these roots.

Brilliant – I’ve seen TV gardeners use these & It is now the most essential tool in my garden bag! Worked perfectly to ease a pot bound rose and large tree out of their containers without breaking the ceramic pots.

Excellent quality product
Great service and packaged well. Sneeboer products are always quality in build and functionality. Sharper than I anticipated but with just have to be careful when unpotting shrubs.
Definitely recommend.

Just what I’ve needed for years and didn’t know existed
This is a great tool for anyone who loves pots in their garden. It gets anything out of any shaped pot and then cuts through the most hardened root system. It cut through my hosta, which was well and truly pot bound, like butter. I’ve previously used a saw and boy it was hard work. I love this knife

Contaner Knife
Such a brilliant tool with a really comfortable handle.Well worth the cost if you have multiple pots to deal with.
Makes the job of removing plants from pots a lot easier.
I bought it as we have so many shrubs and plants to be planted out in our evolving renovation of the garden .
Now have a wish list of other items to buy.

Sneeboer pottery/container knife perfect for the task!
Having several large pottery pots of very root – bound agapanthus I bought this knife to release them. It was a job I should have done maybe 3 or 4 years ago before the plants got to such a condition. The knife has a flexible blade plenty long enough to reach down around the inside of the pots. It was hard work purely due to the compacted root systems but the knife did the job .It also saws easily through the bulky roots too when you need to trim them to fit a different pot. It will come in useful for other potted plants when they need attention too. Glad to have found this knife for sale through Creeper&Knotweed. It looks well made and will be a good investment

Great bit of kit
I have been wanting one of these pottery container knives for sometime. I am extremely pleased with it and has made life much easier to remove those
difficult plants, that insist on staying put in their cosy pot.

Excellent tool
Been looking for something like this to repot my agapanthus and after I saw Monty Don using it I realised that such a thing did exist! Not easy to get hold of in the UK so I was delighted when I found Creeper & Knotweed stocked it. Ordered and it was delivered promptly. It’s a bit early to start using it but it looks good and sturdy and I’ve been pleased with other tools I have from Sneeboer

Another excellent Sneeboer Tool
This is yet another useful tool from the excellent Sneeboer company. I have slowly been building up my collection of Sneeboer Tools. They are not cheap, but the quality is amazing and so superior to other brands. I used this container tool the other day for the first time and to be honest, it just does what its meant to do. It enables you to slip the blade down the side of the pot and loosen it. Thus making it so much easier to get the plant, root ball and soil out, without damaging the delicate root structure.
