Locking Garden Pruner — SK5 Steel

A compact pocket-sized pruner with a hard-locking blade — close it and the spring-loaded latch stays put, even rattling around in a tool bag or apron pocket. SK5 high-carbon steel blade — the same grade used in professional Japanese chisels — paired with an aluminium body, all built into a 15.4 cm package weighing just 99 g. The lock matters: it's the difference between fishing for your secateurs in a busy gardening apron and accidentally slicing your hand on the open blade. Specifications: 15.4 cm total length; 99 g; SK5 carbon steel + aluminium. Supplier reference S801C09. Best for soft growth, deadheading roses (gulab), thinning tomato suckers, harvesting herbs, and the fine close-in work where a full-size bypass pruner is overkill. Slips into a pocket; opens one-handed; closes one-handed. The quiet workhorse of the garden apron.
