The blades are forged from carbon steel, the handles are covered with cork material: We source these exceptional secateurs from a tool specialist in Wuppertal, Germany, whose specialty is cutting tools - and has been for more than 100 years. These shears are particularly suitable for pruning roses, but their bypass blades also support you when pruning shrubs and bushes as well as harvesting herbs and cut flowers. The forged blades have a transparent coating to protect them from corrosion. The handle material deserves special attention: with a high proportion of natural cork, it is extremely comfortable and warm in the hand, has an anti-slip effect and naturally absorbs moisture from the ungloved hand. This cork material has been proving its durability for years in alpine environments and Nordic walking - you may have already come across it as a handle material on hiking poles.

The blades of our secateurs with cork handle are not replaceable, but they can be resharpened at any time. The forged-in oiling point makes it easy to lubricate the mechanism without having to dismantle the entire shear head. A drop of Ballistol or tool care oil and the scissors can be operated as smoothly as ever (again). A built-in wire notch also makes it easier to cut through (soft) florist's wire.
