Chikamasa® PST-8 pruning shears feature a sharp cutting blade and a reinforcing rib that work together to provide precision and strength. Made in Japan, the sharp 1.77-inch (45-millimeter) blades are made of high-quality carbon steel. The soft cushion on the handle protects your hands from shock during prolonged use while the colorful grip adds a touch of style and makes it easy to spot in a garden or tool shed. The inclusion of a spare blade makes the PST-8 a convenient, economical, and environmentally-friendly choice for growers.
