Know before you buy
While it retains the classic FELCO 2 geometry, this special edition features a distinct F-Gold blade with commemorative engraving, bare aluminum handles, and a mid-opening thumb catch. It is a numbered collector's item that includes a premium leather pouch, whereas the standard model is a utilitarian tool.
The FELCO 2 is designed for large hands. If you have smaller hands, you may find the grip span uncomfortable or difficult to operate for extended periods.
Yes, these are professional-grade bypass shears capable of cutting branches up to 25 mm in diameter. They are built for the same durability as the original FELCO 2, making them suitable for regular garden maintenance.
No, this specific model is designed for right-handed use. The blade configuration and locking mechanism are optimized for right-hand operation.
The mid-opening thumb catch allows you to lock the shears in a partially open position. This is useful for making smaller, quicker cuts without having to fully open the blades, which can improve your workflow and reduce hand fatigue.
The F-Gold blade should be maintained just like any other high-quality carbon steel blade. Keep it clean, dry, and lightly oiled after use to prevent corrosion and ensure the edge remains sharp.
