Our Kew Gardens Woodland Collection Shears are ideal for tidying and trimming shrubs, hedges and grass through their 8" (200mm) carbon steel blades that also provide lasting sharpness. Featuring sustainably sourced, weatherproofed FSC hardwood handles in support of responsible forestry management and biodiversity protection, they are comfortable to hold and stay warm to the touch in the cold winter months. Rubber shock absorbers help to reduce any jarring of hands and wrists for more comfortable use.
