Kurumi Pro Saxar

I've been using these for deadheading roses and snipping herbs, and the fine tips let me get right in without crushing the stems. The forged steel has a nice weight to it, feels like something my grandad would've owned.

These are proper little workhorses for deadheading and snipping herbs, and the blades glide through stems way cleaner than my old bargain pair. The forged steel has a nice weight to it and they've stayed sharp after a few months of near-daily use in the garden.

My hands cramp easily with bigger pruners, but these snips feel perfectly balanced and the shorter blades give me real control for precise bud and stem work. The hand-forged metal has a nice weight to it, too—sturdy but not tiring over a long afternoon of tidying up the roses.
