Could the artisan ‘Classic Garden’ box with top Betakut by-pass pruner and Bergamo sharpening stone block be the answer?
If you are looking to take your garden pruning to the next level, then having a great tool for the job, both functionally and aesthetically, can only help to achieve this.
“I love finding small artisan businesses to produce beautiful things. The Betakut pruners are made by a small family run business in Italy and traditionally crafted. When you pick them up you can tell from the build quality and weight they are made to last a lifetime (they actually do guarantee the steel blades for the products life time!).
The pruner presentation box complete with essential stone sharpening block is available either online or locally (to me!) from a special retail outlet in Henley-on-Thames called ‘The Vintage Look’. The pruning box is the perfect gift for a Gardner!
BTW, while on… folks, don’t forget to cut those Alliums this spring/summer and put them into a vase inside with no water to dry…they make beautiful displays”.

Betakut, a traditional and artisan manufacture established in 1955, developed the ‘805’ series of pruning shears. These cutters have pedigree, having been tried & tested over many years in gardens across the globe and still being the top selling model today.
Made from the traditional hot drop forging methods in Erba, Italy (near Lake Como) and assembled and sharpened by hand in the traditional style factory, the Classic pruner (805-23 at 23 cms in length) is the perfect size to hold and prune, together with its PVC dipped Comfort Grip.
The Classic Garden pruner set, developed from UK customer feedback and unique to British shores, aims to bring the very best cutter and stone block together, within an elegant wood box.
Why offer a garden pruning product together with a sharpening stone?
Research shows that a By-pass pruner with the sharpest blade will perform the cleanest possible cut. A cleaner more precise cut will benefit the shrub health and its continued growth.
So, keeping both a high quality forged steel pruner and a sharpening stone (with a perfect holding shape & grit hardness) safely stored in a tailor-made box really is the answer and you’ll never lose them either!
A top tip is to oil the moving parts of the pruner periodically, depending on the frequency of use.
The Classic Garden pruner box is available to purchase online or from selected retail stores.
