Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an anvil and bypass pruner?

An anvil pruner has one sharp blade that cuts down onto a flat surface (the anvil), while a bypass pruner uses two blades that pass each other like scissors. Anvil pruners are better for tough, hard wood, while bypass pruners deliver cleaner cuts on live stems.

What is SK-5 high carbon steel?

SK-5 is a Japanese high carbon steel known for excellent hardness, edge retention, and durability - making it a popular choice for quality garden cutting tools and blades.

Why is the anvil made from aluminum?

Aluminum provides a firm, lightweight cutting surface that resists deformation under repeated cutting impacts while keeping the overall tool weight manageable.

Are the PVC grips comfortable for extended use?

Yes. The molded PVC grips are designed to provide a secure, cushioned hold that reduces hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions.
