This National Trust topiary shear echoes the style and quality of the garden tools of yesteryear. Celebrating traditional manufacturing techniques, the attention to design detail results in garden tools with strength and durability, created to make gardening easier for everyone.
Hand-forged in
Sheffield, the high-carbon steel of this topiary shear is precision hardened
and tempered for maximum life and edge retention. The blades are double hollow
ground, meaning that only the blade edges contact each other as they close, for
minimal resistance in use and easy blade edge maintenance. The blades are
finished by fine grinding for a smooth edge, giving the cleanest cuts for
optimal plant health, especially on buxus (box).
The ‘double bow’ design
of the handle gives a softer squeeze than some topiary shears, for comfort
during prolonged use. The single-handed operation offers superior cutting control,
leaving the other hand free to ‘fluff’ foliage as you work, to achieve the
perfect shape.
Supplied in a stylish
box, this topiary shear makes a thoughtful gardening gift. It is a classic
gardening tool which, with no mechanical parts, should give many years of
service in creating and maintaining beautiful topiary to give your garden
beautiful year-round structure.
Like all the tools in our National Trust made by Burgon & Ball collection, this topiary shear carries a ten-year guarantee. By purchasing these tools, you are helping the National Trust look after special places for ever, for everyone. Browse the National Trust range here
