This small double bow carbon steel boxwood shear from Burgon and Ball is suitable for light pruning, maintaining topiary boxwood, or maintaining lawn borders. Its scissor-shaped blades work precisely and quickly, cutting tender green stems cleanly, not too thick. It is a sturdy and durable tool, but also very pleasant to handle thanks to its double bow handle. Its double and comfortable handle, the length of the blades of this rather short hand shear (9 cm (4in)), and the small size of the tool (22.5 cm (9in)) make it particularly suitable for gardeners with small hands (and/or small pruning tasks). Like all its stainless steel tools approved by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), this shear is guaranteed for life by Burgon & Ball.

This small Burgon and Ball steel boxwood shear is a flexible, lightweight, easy to handle and precise cutting tool, designed for trimming grass and cleanly cutting tender stems, grass and not-too-thick green wood. Its double bow handle provides great pressure and maximum comfort. Made of hardened carbon steel, the angled blades are perfect for boxwood and topiary maintenance, light pruning, and refining lawn edges!

Its double and comfortable handle, as well as the length of the blades of this hand shear (9 cm (4in)) and the tool (22.5 cm (9in)), make it particularly suitable for gardeners with small hands (and/or small pruning tasks).

The English have the privilege of being the reference in gardening (especially when it comes to lawns). Promesses de fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its soon to be tricentennial steel manufacturing methods. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, initially with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly surpassed that of sheep shears, but Burgon & Ball stainless steel tools are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate reward in gardening.

The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chromium to prevent the formation of rust. It's a very precise balance that needs to be found between chromium and carbon, different for each part of the tool. The heat treatment allows to give exactly the right hardness to the steel for each tool. Too hard and the metal can break or chip, not hard enough and it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used is also dependent on the tool. The thickness of the steel affects the weight, so it's also a balance to be found, which the Burgon & Ball company, with its soon to be 300 years of experience, has validated to ensure that its tools are both efficient and pleasant to use.
