These hand-forged shears turn routine pruning into a tactile, precise ritual. You trade the convenience of mass-produced, replaceable blades for a high-carbon steel edge that demands careful maintenance, but rewards you with a level of sharpness and balance that modern tools simply cannot replicate.
