FELCO 5/3 - Replacement Blade

FELCO 5/3 Replacement Blade

The FELCO 5/3 is a genuine high-performance bypass cutting blade designed specifically for the FELCO 5 (Standard) and FELCO 160L (Essentials Large) pruning shears. Crafted from hardened steel, this blade is the engine of your tool, providing the clean and precise cuts that are essential for the health of your plants. Over time, heavy use can lead to blade wear or nicks that hinder performance; replacing it with this original Swiss part ensures your shears return to their factory-standard cutting efficiency. It is the most cost-effective way to refresh your tool without the need to purchase a completely new pair of pruners.

Best For Owners of the FELCO 5 or 160L models who need to restore a sharp, effortless cutting action for general gardening, landscaping, and maintenance pruning.

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: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

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.
