Designed with a safety lock and a low-effort cutting ratio, they are tuned for frequent pruning tasks, hobby gardeners and people who need a gentler grip. The detailed manufacturing process emphasizes blade hardness (above HRC62), reduced friction, and hygienic cuts that help maintain plant health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow precise and durable is the blade for routine pruning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from Japanese SK4 high-carbon steel then quenched to exceed HRC62 hardness, so it stays sharper longer and resists wear.
