The carbon steel blades cut through woody stems way easier than my old pruners ever did, and they still snip delicate sweet pea blooms cleanly. Only thing is they arrived with a light coat of oil on them, which I assume is for protection but caught me off guard.

I've been using these for a month on everything from thin sweet pea stems to woody rosemary branches, and they still cut like day one. The carbon steel holds an edge way better than the cheap pair I had before. Just remember to dry them off after use or they'll spot.

The carbon steel blades are noticeably sharper than my old bypass pruners, and they make quick work of deadheading roses without crushing the stems. I've been keeping them by the back door and reach for them way more than I expected.
