Martha's Favorite Garden Pruners Are Currently Up to 40% Off—Score a Pair Here Before They Sell Out

Pruners are an essential gardening tool used for everything from deadheading and cutting back unruly plants to trimming stems on cut flowers. If you don't have a pair yet, you're in luck. The Okatsune pruners Martha swears by are on major sale right now.

Forged from the finest Japanese steel, these pruners can cut through branches up to 25 millimeters thick, including the branches of shrubs, roses, fruit trees, and creepers. Unlike some other pruners, the blades will stay sharp for a long time and they consistently give a clean and precise cut without requiring much effort.

The blade has been ground in two angles, allowing it to smoothly cut through wood without damaging the plant. What's more, the V-shape of the spring ensures the cutting load is evenly distributed, making the pruners easy to close and open.

Add a pair of the pruners to your gardening bag while they're discounted. On Amazon.com, you can purchase the pruners for $27, a 40 percent discount from the product's usual $45 price point.

Take Martha's word for it: "These are the best," she says of the Okatsune pruners. "Sharp as can be." Along with some other must-have tools, like scissors, herb cutters, and a mallet, Martha always keeps these pruners in her gardening bag.
