When it comes to choosing shearing knives, there are many different types available that are suited for certain applications. Three main types of shearing knives are razor edge, serrated edge, and pine shapers. In today’s blog we will look at all three types of these shearing knives and outline the differences between each. We hope that this will make the process much easier for choosing the right tool for your shearing needs!
Razor edge knives are lightweight and are commonly used for hand shearing evergreen trees and hedges. Our razor edge blades have a smooth edge and allow for clean, precise cuts. It is crucial to buy a sharp and durable blade to make the best tree cuts possible. We also recommend choosing a knife with a strong handle that is comfortable to grip.
When you are not looking for a clean and straight cut, serrated edge knives are an excellent option. The knives have jigsaw like teeth. Serrated edge knives are best used similar to a saw. We recommend these knives for cutting limbs of a tree as they are sharp and will make tough cuts with ease. We believe that a lightweight handle with a sharp blade is the best option so that you will be able to make cuts to your trees with ease.
A pine shaper knife is ideal for shaping your tree to its desired look. When you want to get the authentic and classic look of a Christmas Tree, using a pine shaper is the best option. We recommend choosing a pine shaper knife with a quality stainless steel blade to avoid potential corrosion.
