If you do detailed plant work—bonsai shaping, herb and flower harvesting, propagation cuttings, or any task that needs a delicate, precise blade—these shears are designed for you. They are not intended as a substitute for heavy loppers on thick woody branches; instead, they excel where control, accuracy, and low hand strain matter most. Crafted in Japan and built for frequent, careful use, the Saboten shears fit neatly in a gardener’s toolkit, florist’s bench, or plant-care drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are these shears suitable for woody branches?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No—these fine-tip shears are optimized for small stems, herbs, flowers, and precision pruning; use heavier pruners for thick woody branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How do I clean sap from the fluorine-coated blade?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild solvent if needed; the fluorine coating reduces sticky buildup and makes cleaning quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"forest Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56832932282708,"sku":"B0F18173CC","price":46.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/forest-originals-saboten-front-angle-orange.jpg?v=1787035438","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/forest-originals-saboten-harvesting-shears-magnetic-springless-fine-tip-fluorine-coated-steel-orange","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
