Doukan Trim shears - 200mm

Japan not only makes some of the best knives, turns out their gardening tools aren't shoddy either. These are entry level shears/secateurs but pretty sturdy and more than capable of covering off most garden tasks. 

Saunders says:

"When you are attempting a serious pruning session, you don't want something flimsy or blunt in your hands. These are neither and the carbon steel means they will come back again and again. "

The spec
