How to sharpen anvil pruners

  1. Make sure the blade cuts against the lower anvil. If not, you have bypass pruners
  2. Open the pruners as wide as possible to access the blade
  3. Place the diamond sharpener against the edge and follow the existing bevel
  4. File along the edge until it becomes smooth and slightly shiny
  5. Lightly run the sharpener over both sides to remove the burr

Result

When sharpened correctly, you get:

  • Less effort when cutting
  • Cleaner cuts
  • Reduced wear on the pruners
