These are the perfect light weight hedge shears for topiary and more intricate shearing. They are half the weight of most hedge shears allowing for an easier time for those who lack the wrist strength for the heavier duty shears. They are extremely sharp and easy to handle. The high carbon steel blades are hollow ground, hardened and tempered with highly sharpened Teflon "S" coating for easy clean up. The handles are chromium plated steel with "AES" resin plastic grips. Blade length 6", 20" overall.
