FELCO 8 Edition Stéphane Marie - Professional Bypass Pruning Shears - Anodised Black Arabesque Handles - UV Herbarium Print

Bringing the perfect synthesis of heavy-duty Swiss mechanical power and classic French horticultural design, the FELCO 8 Edition Stéphane Marie is an elite, full-sized collector's secateur engineered for demanding cutting tasks. Celebrating the legacy of the prominent French gardening icon, this professional tool features heavy-duty forged aluminium handles that are deeply black anodised, intricately decorated with a UV-printed arabesque layout of Stéphane Marie's personal herbarium, and completely sealed with a protective powder-coat finish. Tailored for large hand sizes, its advanced inclined cutting head transforms the tool into a natural extension of your forearm for effortless, high-leverage vineyard and orchard work.

Best For
Professional viticulturists, arborists, commercial landscapers, and design-focused horticulturists with large hand sizes who require industrial cutting power wrapped in an elegant, limited-edition botanical aesthetic.

Key Features

• Stéphane Marie Herbarium Artwork: The robust handle assemblies feature an exclusive, custom-printed botanical arabesque pattern inspired by historic herbarium records, bringing high-end visual elegance to the field.
• Multi-Stage Handle Defence: Built from heavy-duty forged aluminium that undergoes deep black anodisation, high-definition UV printing, and a final tough clear powder-coat application to reliably repel scratches, plant sap, and field moisture.
• Ergonomic Inclined Cutting Head: Features an ingeniously tilted mechanical design that aligns naturally with the wrist, preventing tool slippage, optimizing downward muscle leverage, and drastically reducing strain during repetitive cuts.
• Premium Large-Hand Bypass Power: Retains the legendary structural geometry of the standard FELCO 8, providing contoured, form-fitting handle scales that maximise power transfer for larger palms tackling thick wood.
• High-Carbon Hardened Steel Blades: Outfitted with an ultra-sharp Swiss steel cutting head capable of delivering clean, surgical bypass cuts up to 25 mm without crushing living plant fibres, complete with a wire-cutting notch and sap groove.
• Micro-Metric Cutting Calibration: Incorporates FELCO's iconic segment locking nut assembly, allowing precise, custom mechanical adjustments between the blade and counter-blade to ensure clean cuts all day long.
• Cushioned Shock Absorption: Equipped with heavy-duty rubber cushion dampers that absorb the jarring impact force at the end of every stroke, protecting the operator's wrists and forearms from fatigue.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

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.
