Sturdy, forged shears (C58 steel) made for effortless cutting through branches and twigs. Smooth leather is rustically strung around the curved handles, contoured to fit the heel of the hand. The shears therefore lie comfortably in the hand. They are easy to clean after finishing work, as the cutting edges are polished so that dirt can hardly stick to them. The leather wrapping can be easily replaced, making these shears a companion for life.
