Topiary & trimming shear by Burgon & Ball

Since 1730 Burgon & Ball has been manufacturing sheep shears and gardening tools. A distinguishing feature of their products is that they do not have the classic looped handles for thumb and forefinger. Instead, the blades of the shears are made of high-carbon steel and joined with a hand-forged bow. This shape has many advantages. It has an unbreakable spring and natural resistance. The grip position guarantees the maximum possible cutting control without putting too much presssure on the wrist - hence providing maximum comfort. This makes Burgon & Ball shears perfect both for topiary or for cutting through soft foliage and wet materials such as grass edges, water plants or removing dead flower heads.
