Title: The gold standard
Review: I've been doing volunteer work at a local botanical garden for the past five years. First week there I could see that all the gardeners used Felcos, so I bought a pair of the #8s. Extremely comfortable in the hand, and anyone who's used a drop-point pocketknife will tell you that a drop-point pruner will be much easier on your wrist.Combine comfort with SHARP and you have the gold standard of pruners. I sharpen mine every week, which takes, like, almost a whole minute. I could probably shave with them. I strip them down every winter, clean and re-grease everything. The blades have darkened over time, and the plastic covering the handles shows a little wear. Otherwise they work like they did the first time I used them. I'll probably be able to leave these to my grandchildren (and my son isn't even married yet).My wife goes to the garden store every year and replaces her $15 pruners with a new pair. You do the math...
