Barebones Living Classic Pruner

These pruners are designed for precision work, such as deadheading flowers, trimming herbs, or pruning small branches and stems. Because of their Japanese-inspired design, they offer excellent dexterity for detailed cuts rather than heavy-duty branch clearing.

Yes, as these are made from heavy-duty steel, they are susceptible to rust if left wet. It is best practice to wipe the blades clean and dry them thoroughly after each use, and occasionally oil the pivot point to keep the action smooth.

The sheath is made from heavy waxed canvas, which is specifically chosen for its weather-resistant properties. While it will protect the tool from the elements and wear, it is still recommended to store the pruners in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.

The Japanese-inspired design prioritizes ergonomics and control, making them generally comfortable for a variety of hand sizes. The tool is lightweight and balanced, allowing for precise, repetitive cuts without significant hand fatigue.

The copper accents are primarily aesthetic, adding to the tool's rustic, traditional look. However, they are integrated into the robust steel construction, maintaining the overall durability and functional integrity of the pruner.
