TL-FEL-F8
A superbly designed pruning shear for the professional. Both cutting and anvil blades are not riveted and the narrow, pointed blade design allows for close pruning. Light alloy handles are shaped to act as an extension of the forearm. The anvil blade handle is designed to prevent the pruner from sliding through the hand. This hollow ground, Swiss, precision, hardened steel blade features a wire-cutting notch. The blades are set on dowel pins for easy maintenance.
The Felco F8 is solid, well balanced and cuts with ease. I have used several of the other brands (Fiskars, etc) over the years but these would quickly dull and break within a season or two. The F8 comes across as being able hold up longer over time.
