Key Features
-
Precision Straight Blade Design: The elongated straight blades are specifically engineered to eliminate bruising and tissue damage during the cut, which is critical for healthy nursery propagation and ensuring cuttings root successfully.
-
Marquench Hardened Japanese Steel: Forged from premium high-carbon steel and Marquench hardened, these blades retain their razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard shears, providing consistent performance through high-repetition tasks.
-
Hard Chrome Plated Finish: The blades are treated with an extra-tough hard chrome plating to provide superior rust resistance and wipe-clean convenience, making it easy to remove sticky sap or biological residue after use.
-
Ergonomic Lightweight Handling: With a compact 18.7cm total length and a perfectly balanced frame, this tool reduces hand and wrist fatigue, allowing for comfortable, all-day use for those who find larger pruners too cumbersome.
-
Dual-Utility Versatility: The unique straight blade geometry makes this tool a popular choice for trimming the hooves of livestock such as sheep and goats, offering a durable, precise cutting solution for the farm.
