I am a pair of branch and root shears. I’m a gardener’s best friend because I have all the qualities a friend should have and like to keep a tight knit group. So when unwanted guests try to get in, I’m not afraid to cut them out of our circle.

Curator's Notes

For thicker diameter branches and roots, these shears are ideal to trim away unwanted segments.

Aesthetically, they have that antique look with a forged steel finish, but cut like more modern shears with its thicker blades and a beveled edge.
