I love these secateurs because they’re both practical and beautiful.

They have that lovely traditional garden-tool feel, with smooth wood handles and strong drop-forged carbon steel blades. They feel solid and comfortable in your hand and give a clean, precise cut when you’re deadheading flowers, pruning roses or tidying up around the garden.

I’m a big believer that the things we use every day don’t have to be ugly or purely functional. These are the kind of secateurs you’ll happily leave sitting on the potting bench — but more importantly, they’re made to be used.

Why you'll love them

Clean, precise cutting

Bypass secateurs. Two blades pass each other like scissors. The gold standard for live, green wood. They make clean cuts that heal quickly. 

Made to last
Drop-forged construction gives the blades strength and durability for regular garden use.

Comfortable in the hand
Smooth wood handles give them a warm, traditional feel and make them comfortable to use.

Practical and beautiful
A hardworking garden tool that looks just as at home in a cottage garden as it does in the tool shed.

How to look after them

Carbon steel holds a lovely sharp edge, but it does need a little care to keep it looking and cutting its best.

After each use, wipe the blades clean and dry them thoroughly, especially if you’ve been cutting wet or sappy plants.

Every now and then, apply a light coat of oil to the blades and a drop to the moving joint. This helps prevent rust and keeps the action smooth.

If sap builds up on the blades, clean it off before storing them and dry them straight away.

The ash wood handles can also be given an occasional light coat of timber or linseed oil to help stop the wood drying out.

Store your secateurs somewhere dry and out of the weather.

A little surface patina may develop on carbon steel over time — that’s completely normal and part of the character of a well-used garden tool.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

To find your perfect fit please measure your body in the following standard areas, usually with a fabric measuring tape is best. Then select your size based on where your measurements fit in our size chart.

We understand it's hard to sometimes get the find the right fit and talking to someone who knows the garment, can touch, feel, test and measure it for you can really help close that gap.

Different Types of Size Charts

It's important to note that there are two basic types of size charts, one is based on your body measurements and gives sizes or measurement references to fit a persons body shape. To find the perfect fit for this type of chart you compare your own body measurements with that of the chart allowing a little bit extra for a comfy fit.

The other type of size guide is based on the actual garment measurements as a reference point. The garments are laid flat and then measured at different points. To find the perfect for this type of chart you should do the same with an existing garment that fits you. For example lay the item flat measure at the same points as a guide for comparison, taking material stretch into account. Elasticated items are often measured un-stretched and will normally say so in the notes near the size chart.
