Gardening shears 🌷

These Black Thinning Shears have a sleek look and a spring action mechanism reduces hand strain. They are often used to prune pine trees because their durable thin blades precisely snip through wood with with minimal effort. Designed with a copper safety lock that can open and close by brushing it against your hip, allowing quick performance and the ability to hold a bouquet in one hand without having to let it go to lock the shears rather than using two hands. Includes leather sheath and scissor oil.
