	Model	Type Typeclose Bypass secateurs have a scissor-like action where the cutting blade slices past a curved, unsharpened, slim jaw (beak) that supports the plant. Anvil secateurs cut like an axe on to a cutting block. The blade is sharpened on both sides and when the secateurs are closed the blade meets a flat metal or plastic block (the anvil). See the Checklist page for more information.	Price	Overall score	Cut quality (/10) Cut quality (/10)close Based on the cleanness of the cut.
