I lost my "good" pruners a few years ago and then found them about a year later. I cleaned them up and sharpened them and they continue to hold an edge after sharpening for a long time compared to any other pruners I have owned. They are not a brand name pruner, but I do remember that I bought them at a farm supply store years ago.
Yes, I've since painted the handles bright orange. I never want to lose them again. They fit my hand and I can work for hours with them without my hand hurting at the end of the day.
I'd love to have a back-up to them, but I haven't seen anything that looked as good as my old pruners.
