Garden Shears (Double and Straight Edge)
Garden Shears (Double and Straight Edge)
These shears are ideal for clipping the foliage of hedges, shrubs, box and topiary. They are not designed for cutting woody branches, instead use secateurs or loppers.
Do not rely on the handles to do the cutting – they are wood and can snap with too much lever pressure. The handle length is designed for reach, not leverage.

{Information}Care Instructions
The blades are made of carbon steel. Carbon steel blades must be treated to avoid rusting. Japanese traditionally use Camellia (Tsubaki) Oil to treat carbon steel tools. Other suitable oils may also be used. Ensure the blade is clean and dry before applying Camellia Oil. Simply wipe the blade with a clean cloth impregnated with Camellia Oil. Re-apply after each use. Only use for the specified activity on this page. Do not cut wire, metal, stone, plastic or any other hard material. Dropping the tool onto a hard surface may cause the blade to break. Do not twist or apply uneven pressure. Cutting should occur along the section of the edge(s) closest to the handle. Cutting at the point or tip runs the risk of snapping the blade.
