The FELCO 7\/3 F-Gold is a professional-grade replacement bypass blade engineered specifically for the FELCO 7-series pruner. Utilizing FELCO's state-of-the-art golden anti-friction technology, this blade is forged from hardened high-carbon Swiss steel and finished with a high-durability titanium-nitride (TiN) coating. This advanced surface treatment drastically minimizes sap buildup, reduces cutting resistance, and delivers the ultra-smooth, surgical precision necessary for high-volume horticultural tasks, ensuring cleaner cuts that promote faster plant tissue healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessional arborists, vineyard managers, and intensive-use gardeners who rely on the FELCO 7-series pruner and require maximum blade fluidity, reduced manual cutting effort, and superior resistance to sap-based binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced F-Gold Anti-Friction Coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e A high-performance titanium-nitride layer that acts as a low-drag shield, drastically improving the smoothness of the cutting stroke and reducing the overall force required for bypass pruning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSap-Repellent Surface Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Significantly lowers the adhesion of sticky plant resins, sugars, and moisture, keeping the blade cleaner during long-term field use and preventing the \"sticky binding\" common with standard steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Hardened Carbon Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forged from elite-grade Swiss steel to provide exceptional toughness and edge-holding capability, ensuring the blade maintains its taper-ground, razor-sharp edge even under heavy-duty professional use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wear Characteristic:\u003c\/strong\u003e The golden coating is engineered to undergo natural wear at the primary contact points with the counter-blade; this gradual fading is a normal operational behavior that does not affect the steel's structural integrity or cutting sharpness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Bypass Alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-manufactured to match the FELCO 7-series geometry exactly, maintaining the critical bypass clearance needed to slice through stems without tearing or crushing fibers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in standard replacement blade configuration for FELCO 7-series pruners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: FELCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 7\/3 F-Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Premium Anti-Friction Replacement Bypass Pruning Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Coating Technology: F-Gold Anti-Friction \/ Low-Sap Adhesion Treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Material Composition: Premium Hardened Swiss High-Carbon Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth (Net): 2.95 mm (Blade thickness profile)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (Net): 0.024 kg (24 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth (Gross): 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (Gross): 0.031 kg (31 g packaged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For (Uses)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring factory-fresh, low-friction cutting performance to FELCO 7 pruners that have seen extensive use or suffered edge damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning high-resin or sap-rich species—including fruit trees, grapevines, and ornamental shrubs—where reduced friction is critical to maintaining a fast and effortless workflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading your pruning equipment to reduce repetitive mechanical drag, increase battery\/manual efficiency, and minimize physical fatigue during long, high-output pruning seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heiniger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48608793329764,"sku":"7\/3F-Gold","price":34.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/73F-Gold.png?v=1781880932","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/felco-7-3-f-gold-professional-replacement-blade-anti-friction-tin-coating-high-carbon-steel-bypass-pruning-blade","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
