THE THREE MAIN TYPES OF SHEARS
Hedge shears come in three distinct
blade designs : Straight, Wavy and Edge.
Although any of these shears can cut
most types of hedge, each design has
features which makes it more suitable
to its particular purpose.
Serrated edge to enable
cutting of thick branches
up to 0.6”
STRAIGHT-BLADE SHEARS
WAVY-BLADE SHEARS
These shears feature long, sharply ground blades. They are used on most types
of hedges, especially tightly packed hedges as used for topiary and in typical
English gardens. The professional models have serrations near the bottom of
the blade for gripping larger twigs and hard wood during cutting.
Wavy-blade shears feature two very sharp blades, ground to a distinct
wavy shape. The waves trap groups of twigs and prevent them from
sliding along the blade during the cut, which ensures a uniform finish
to the hedge. These shears are especially useful for cutting hedges
and plants with a fairly open structure, like pines and vines.
A sign of good shears :
the blades are shaped so that they are only touching at the cutting point. This reduces
friction and sticking.
