Bypass blade design is ideal for pruning green, living growth like ornamental shrubs and trees * Power curve technology multiplies leverage to make cutting up to two times easier than single-pivot tools * Razor-sharp, precision-ground blade cuts with less resistance than thicker blades and stays sharp for lasting value * Rust-resistant, low-friction coating helps the blade glide through wood and prevents it from gumming up with sap and debris * Grip ease pad at a key pressure point improves grip and reduces hand fatigue
