These pruning shears are very sharp and versatile in the garden for cutting fresh flowers to pruning woody branches.
They made from carbon steel in by the Pallares company in Spain. The company was founded in 1917 and three generations of the same family have been making high-quality tools and knives that will last a lifetime. All the knives are hand sharpened before they leave the factory as a way to test each tool and ensure its sharpness.
Carbon steel makes a harder and stronger cutting blade than stainless steel, it is also easier to sharpen. In return for its high performance, carbon steel will need a little bit of love and care, as it will tend to oxidise if not well maintained.
If your carbon steel blade is beginning to rust, use a scouring pad and acid, such as vinegar and gently rub it on the affected area. After the rust has been removed, dry the blade, re-sharpen and oil to prevent future rusting.
We have two sizes - med large with a 22cms long, these are a heavy-duty bypass style shear that will cut through most small branches. And small med lightweight bypass style which has a 20cm length and is great for general pruning.
