Know before you buy
Yes, the Felco F300 features an ambidextrous design, making them comfortable and functional for both left- and right-handed users.
The bypass mechanism works like a pair of scissors, where two blades pass by each other. This creates a clean, precise cut that is ideal for delicate stems and flowers without crushing the plant tissue.
No, these are designed specifically for delicate trimming, deadheading, and light harvesting. They are not intended for thick, woody stems, which could damage the slender blades.
The chromium plating provides a protective layer that resists corrosion and rust. This helps the blades stay sharper for longer and makes them easier to clean after working with sappy plants.
Yes, the flexible coil spring helps absorb the impact of each cut and automatically opens the blades for you. This significantly reduces hand fatigue and strain during repetitive tasks like harvesting or deadheading.
