Corona Original Bypass Pruner

This is the gold standard for clean, precise cuts that won't crush delicate stems. While the manual bypass design requires more wrist effort than modern ratcheting alternatives, the trade-off is a sharpenable, forged steel blade that will outlast almost anything else in your shed.
