Kent and Stowe Eversharp Bypass Secateurs
Kent and Stowe make some of my favourite hand tools, so I was excited to learn about these in the autumn of 2021. At this stage, we were only able to hand pre-production models. We were informed they would be called Eversharp because of the special technology employed in the blade and the bypass, meaning they should never go blunt. In 2022, I was able to collect two versions of the Eversharp, one as described about and a second for those preferring the older style but still popular for many the Anvil version.
