I bought these late last year. I like to garden so when I saw this set of pruners with handles that matched my Schollhorn 102 pliers I was intrigued engough to buy them.
The blades are huge. Much larger than current pruners. The hub of the tool on the side not seen is imprinted "Pat. Pending No. 25-8" This is the only pair of Schollhorn pruning shears I have ever seen. The handles still have very good spring to them. It needs sharpening, but when put to the test it easily cut a half inch branch.
