Big, heavy duty, stainless steel, wood-handled folders that'll take a serious beating. Smokey Mountain Knife Works sells them for $4 each.

If it's for pruning things like rose bushes, why is this any better than a good pair of bypass pruning scissors? (I obviously lack the green thumb of some of the other readers here.) cl So, er, what’s this for, and how do you use it?
