Overview

The Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Active Soft Grip Hand Shears are robust general-purpose garden shears designed for comfortable, controlled cutting when trimming hedges, shrubs and other garden growth.

Their substantial 230mm (9") hardened carbon steel blades are chrome-plated to improve rust resistance and provide a smoother cutting action. A useful notch in the blade helps when tackling thicker stems that can be difficult to cut with the straight section of conventional shears.

Strong tubular steel handles provide leverage and durability, while a vinyl coating improves rust resistance. Non-slip soft-feel grips make the shears comfortable to hold during longer trimming jobs.

Why We Love It

• 230mm cutting blades – long 9-inch blades make them practical for general hedge and shrub trimming.

• Hardened carbon steel – provides a strong, durable cutting edge.

• Chrome-plated blades – help resist rust while promoting smoother cutting.

• Notched for thicker stems – a useful feature when you encounter tougher growth.

• Comfortable soft grips – non-slip handles provide a more secure and comfortable hold.

• Strong steel handles – tubular construction combines strength with practical everyday handling.

How to Use

Trimming

Hold both soft-grip handles securely and use smooth, controlled cutting movements when trimming hedges and shrubs.

For thicker stems, position the material in the blade notch before cutting. Avoid forcing the tool through material that is too thick or hard for the shears.

After Use

Remove leaves, sap and other plant debris from the blades after use. Wipe the blades clean and dry before storage to help maintain their condition.

Store the shears in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Perfect For

• Hedge trimming

• Shaping shrubs

• Cutting back soft garden growth

• General garden maintenance

• Gardeners who prefer long blades for efficient trimming

• Regular home garden use

Good to Know

The Razorsharp Active Soft Grip Hand Shears combine 230mm hardened carbon steel blades with chrome plating for improved rust resistance. Unlike a completely straight cutting edge, the blades incorporate a notch specifically intended to help cut thicker stems.
