Felco pruning shears

[CLW]

Hello,

I'm looking for a source or store in Bangkok that has Felco pruning shears in the hope they are less expensive than in Europe.

My dad asked me to buy some for him.

Thanks

You can find the "knock off" kind easily enough.... Tesco, Big C and hardware stores.... around 300 baht or so....

I doubt your find the real McCoy here...

Thanks for all the replies.

For 1700 Baht I can buy at home.

I'll stick to a Solo shear and give it a try.

Not a big loss of money.

Felcos are sweet for ease of cutting, but I do a lot of fine pruning and the anvil side is too thick, preventing me from getting in close on a tight crotch. I've used a Japanese made shears for years, really good hand forged steel, slim and oh so sharp, or for every day work a simple $20 Corona shears.
