Frequently Asked Questions

What does the curved 225mm blade suit?

The curved blade can help follow rounded plant forms and gives a long cutting edge for controlled pruning and shaping. The maker does not state that the blade is hollow-ground.

What material should these curved shears be used on?

Use them on suitable live pruning and soft shaping growth. For thick, hard or dry wood, use secateurs, heavy-pruning shears or a pruning saw.

How do I maintain White Paper Steel blades?

Wipe dry after use, remove sap, and apply a light oil film. Touch up on a fine whetstone as needed and keep stones flat for consistent results.

Will the blades rust?

Yes if left wet. White Paper Steel is high carbon, so expect a patina. Dry thoroughly and oil lightly to prevent rust and staining.
