This pair of shears is surprisingly light for its size. Made of carbon steel, it has a good action – good enough to cut through finger-thick branches effortlessly. Suitable not only for heavy work, but also for cutting hedges and shrubs to shape.

The development of tools does not simply follow an abstract-functional principle, but is often linked to the entire worldview and self-image of an era or region. This is particularly evident in the tools of a completely different cultural sphere: the products of the ancient Japanese blacksmith's craft are much admired in our country, because they still live entirely from the deep historical and spiritual roots of pre-modern Japanese culture.

When choosing the right secateurs, it is important to first answer the question of what you want to cut. Our shears differ in terms of material, size, weight and features, so each one has a specific task. There are basically two types of shears: With bypass shears, two blades glide past each other, leaving a clean, smooth cut; with anvil shears, on the other hand, a sharp blade meets the stationary anvil. Bypass shears are particularly suitable for precise cuts requiring little force on thinner pruning material - such as roses, shrubs or perennials - while anvil shears can be used to make powerful cuts on thicker branches, making them particularly suitable for pruning woody plants. In our range you will find, for example, specialists for topiary or thinning, for a particularly hand-friendly working method or an extra-strong cut for particularly thick branches.
