Description
Product Overview
The Kimura Bypass Pruning Shears are engineered for heavy‑duty garden work while remaining comfortable in the hand. Crafted from Japanese SK5 steel, the 60 HRC blades retain a razor‑sharp edge and glide through stems up to 1 inch thick. The handle is machined from aircraft‑grade aluminum, coated with a non‑slip PVC layer for a secure grip even when wet. An ambidextrous shape and a quick‑release safety lock complete the design, delivering reliability for right‑ and left‑handed users alike.
Usage
These shears excel in a variety of gardening tasks—from trimming roses and hydrangeas to shaping hedges and cutting small branches on fruit trees. Their low‑friction PTFE‑coated blades prevent sap buildup, allowing smooth cuts in both residential backyards and commercial landscapes. Ideal for hobbyists, professional landscapers, and anyone with limited hand strength, the ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during extended pruning sessions.

How do I maintain the blade’s sharpness?
The SK5 steel retains its edge for years, but occasional cleaning with a dry cloth and occasional oiling will keep it performing at its best.
