The Story
Drop-forged carbon steel secateurs for garden pruning, house plants and cut flowers. Lovely refined action, perfect for woodier stems in flower arrangements, as well as general garden pruning. The chunky catch and the hard wearing carbon steel blade make these perfect for all day use, while the yellow grips show up nicely should they be accidentally abandoned in the compost heap.
- 223g
- 204 x 51 x 20mm
- 55mm blades
- Max cut Ø10mm
- KA-70 Carbon Steel
- Yellow Vinyl handles
- Made in Sanjo, Japan
- Includes Spare Spring
Most of our sharp tools are made from carbon steel; this means they may, through regular use, stain (and eventually rust) and gradually lose their edge. Caring for them involves these things…
Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to; it will chip if abused.
Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)
Do not twist or apply uneven pressure
Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres
Pay attention to our maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)
Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts
