Felco 8 Bypass Pruning Shear

The Felco 8 is designed with an ergonomic, right-handed grip that is generally best suited for medium to large hands. If you have smaller hands, you might find the Felco 6 or Felco 16 more comfortable to maneuver.

Yes, every component of the Felco 8 is fully replaceable. You can easily swap out the hardened steel blade or other parts as they wear down, which significantly extends the lifespan of the tool.

These shears have a cutting capacity of 25 mm, or 1 inch in diameter. Attempting to cut branches thicker than this can damage the blade or the pivot mechanism.

The integrated sap groove is a small channel on the blade that directs sap away from the cutting edge. This prevents the blade from sticking during repetitive cuts, keeping your pruning smooth and efficient.

The shock-absorbing system uses a rubber cushion that compresses when the blades close completely. This absorbs the impact of the cut, which helps reduce strain on your wrist and hand during long gardening sessions.

Like any high-quality tool, the hardened steel blade will eventually dull with use. We recommend honing the edge periodically to maintain clean, precise cuts that promote healthy plant healing.
