The very best option for an all-round pair of garden shears - ideal for hedges, shrubs, box clipping and topiary. Hard wearing SK steel holds its edge and puts up with a bit of mistreatment here and there, while the white oak handles are the perfect length for everyday use, and have subtle but satisfying bulges half way down, offering a subliminal hotspot for where best to hold them for optimal balance.

NB. the Long Pair are not stronger than the Standard size. If anything they are weaker, with the longer handles under more stress. They are not loppers and should not be used for hard woody cuts, especially when fully stretched.

1. Correct Use:

Japanese steel is hard and sharp, and can be more brittle than some people are used to - it will chip if abused

Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material (even bamboo fibres and some very hard woods, especially knots and burrs, can damage steel edges)

Do not twist or apply uneven pressure

Cut diagonally across branches (not straight across) so you cut along the fibres

Pay attention to our maximum cut dimensions, and don’t overdo it (shears are not loppers)

Use the base of the blades, not the tips, for heavier cuts

2. Tips:

Keep them clean, and keep them sharp. We say that about everything, but it’s never truer than with shears.
