Know before you buy
The Felco F6 is specifically engineered for medium-sized hands. If you have larger hands, you may find the handle length and grip diameter slightly restrictive, and you might prefer a larger model like the Felco F2.
The revolving handle rotates as you squeeze, which helps distribute pressure across your fingers rather than concentrating it in one spot. This design significantly reduces hand fatigue and helps prevent blisters during extended pruning sessions.
The blades are designed to be easily maintained at home. You can keep them sharp using a standard Felco sharpening stone, and because the parts are modular, you can replace the blade entirely if it eventually becomes too worn.
The F6 is designed for a cutting capacity of up to 20 millimeters, or about 0.8 inches. It is best suited for precision work like shaping shrubs, vines, and young trees rather than heavy-duty branch removal.
No, the Felco F6 is designed specifically for right-handed users. The blade alignment and handle ergonomics are optimized for a right-hand grip.
The sap groove is a small channel on the blade that prevents it from sticking when cutting through sappy or resinous wood. It helps ensure a clean, smooth cut without the blades gumming up during use.
