Mini Shears

Mini Shears
£12.00
Ex Tax: £10.00
A smaller version of the renowned Burgon & Ball one-handed trimming and topiary shears made with hardened and tempered high carbon steel blades fixed to a hand forged, heart shaped, moderately sprung double bow. Ideal for harvesting green (maybe not woody, like the thicker stems of rosemary) herbs, cutting fresh flowers, deadheading, trimming flower arrangements and bonsai, or they may of course be re-purposed as a kind of English take on the Japanese household nigiri. About 160mm total length.

Care Advice

Wipe thoroughly after use to remove any plant residue or sap, and follow with a light coating of oil to protect from rust. Store in a dry environment. Sharpen with a curved secateur stone, if the blade edges are concave.
