The bud cutter looks like an ordinary concave cutter, but it is designed exclusively for cutting soft bud shoots (e.g. small pine trees). When cutting branches, the fine blades can quickly become damaged or even break. In addition, unlike a simple plier, the blades of the bud cutter engage one over the other when closed. This is a special quality feature of this tool and it requires a lot of experience to manufacture. As a result, the cut of the pliers is comparable to that of scissors and correspondingly clean. In addition, the arrangement makes the blades sharper for longer and more durable overall.
