I have my Felco 2's for over 35 years and still going strong. Two new springs, one new blade. Absolutely fantastic. Now retired I keep them in my car. So as a treat I bought myself a new pair for home complete with 910 leather holster in a gift set for a great price. Treated the holster to multiple coats of Neatsfoot oli which darkens the colour and softens the leather as well as waterproofing. Set for at least another thirty five years but suspect that it will be my son who inherits both pairs that will get the benefit. To conclude. Brilliant, well crafted secateurs. Worth the price. You get what you pay for. Highly recommended as was the service from Felco.
