Pallarès Pruning Shears Vintage Scissors Straight 19cm

Each Pallarès blade has been handmade from high-quality carbon steel. Carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and will hold its edge longer before needing to be sharpened. It does require a bit of care and attention. It is also natural for carbon steel to develop a patina over time.
