Felco launches the world's first fully personalised garden shears
FELCO, the Swiss manufacturer of professional pruning tools, has launched a new line of fully personalised garden shears. This development combines ergonomic refinement with bespoke craftsmanship, aiming to provide a high level of customisation without compromising on durability or cutting performance.
Produced in Switzerland, the new shears are adapted to the individual anatomy, preferences, and pruning techniques of each user. The customisation options include various handle sizes and finishes, blade adjustments, and personal engravings. Each tool is designed to offer improved comfort, control, and a level of individualisation that distinguishes it from standard pruning instruments.
“We believe a tool should feel like a natural extension of the hand,” said Nabil Francis, CEO of FELCO. “With our personalised shears, gardeners no longer have to adapt to their tools—the tools adapt to them. It represents a step forward in combining comfort, sustainability, and craftsmanship.”
Users based on their hand measurements can choose between two different sizes of pruning shears. They’re then able to customize various options, starting with handle color and blade coating Available finishes include anodised aluminium in black, metallic blue, or gold, in addition to FELCO’s classic red.
Each shear is assembled by experienced craftsmen and undergoes quality assurance to ensure it meets FELCO’s functional standards. Users may also select from advanced blade coatings such as F-TECH, which reduces friction, or the patented F-GOLD, a gold-cobalt alloy designed to minimise sap adhesion and reduce the risk of cross-contamination between plants.
When performance meets personalisation
The shears are shaped according to individual hand posture, with adjusted weight distribution to promote ease of use during extended periods of pruning. This approach is intended to reduce physical strain and repetitive motion injuries, particularly for professional users.
As with other FELCO tools, the personalised shears are fully serviceable. Components such as the blades are replaceable and made from hardened steel, designed to retain their sharpness and extend the tool’s lifespan.
