Full Description

Vintage Wavy-Edge Hedge Shears

These vintage hedge shears feature forged steel blades with an uncommon wavy blade profile along the lower half of both blades. The shape gives the tool a distinctive look compared with typical straight hedge shears.

The long wooden handles provide good reach and leverage for trimming hedges and shrubs, and the shears have been tuned so the blades meet cleanly with a smooth “snip” action.

This is a sturdy mid-century garden tool that still has many years of service left.
