FELCO 16/3 - Replacement Blade

FELCO 16/3 Replacement Blade

The FELCO 16/3 is a genuine bypass cutting blade specifically engineered for FELCO’s specialized pruning and harvesting shears. Manufactured from premium Swiss hardened steel, this blade is the essential component for the FELCO 16 and the FELCO 17 (the specialized left-handed model). Designed for precision and clean cutting, the 16/3 features a tapered profile that allows for easy access to tight branches and stems. Replacing a worn or dull blade with this original part restores the surgical accuracy and effortless bypass action that FELCO is world-renowned for, ensuring your plants heal quickly after every cut.

Best For Professional gardeners and harvesters using the FELCO 16 or 17 who need to maintain a razor-sharp edge for high-frequency trimming and nursery work.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
