We use the Fiskars Softgrip ByPass Pruning Shears more than any other because they are so light weight and comfortable to handle. The narrow stainless steel blades will cut almost anything and the simple ambidextrous lock is so easy and smooth to operate. The serrated carbon steel blades are narrow and allow for easy selection and cutting of stems from dense foliage plants. It is the perfect tool for trimming and pruning our Goji Berry Plants.
