The Spear & Jackson Kew Gardens Razorsharp Anvil Secateurs are essential for gardeners tackling heavy-duty pruning tasks, particularly when managing thicker, woody stems. Endorsed by the Kew Gardens collection, these tools provide a clean, efficient cut through durable anvil action, though users should note that the anvil design is specifically optimized for dead or woody growth rather than delicate live green stems.

These are anvil secateurs, designed for woody growth. For soft flowers, bypass secateurs are generally preferred to avoid crushing the stem.
Use a professional-grade whetstone or sharpening file at the original factory angle to maintain the cutting edge.
While the ergonomic grip is designed for general use, the symmetric nature of the handle allows for comfortable operation by both right and left-handed users.
These secateurs are designed to handle thicker woody stems efficiently; however, avoid forcing branches wider than the jaw opening to prevent tool damage.
Wipe the blade clean after use, apply a light coat of garden tool oil, and store in a cool, dry environment.
Ensure the blade is centered and the branch is positioned deep in the anvil jaw; check for dullness and sharpen if necessary.
Clean away any dried sap or dirt from the pivot area and apply a small amount of machine oil.
No complex setup is required; the tool arrives ready for use. To maintain performance, clean the blades after every session to remove sap and debris. Use a light machine oil on the pivot point periodically to keep the action smooth. During the off-season, store the secateurs in a dry place, ideally coated with a light layer of oil to prevent oxidation on the carbon steel components.
