BERGERtopiary hedge shear 2711 with round spring, sheep shear with forged blades, blade length: 14 cm

I wanted to try hand shearing my sheep, to lesson the stress of shearing. After research, this was my pick. Nicely, it was inexpensive enough to try out for my first hand shear. I am 5' 3" and female, so do not have large hands, this was perfect for my hands. (You do have to have a strong grip, however the spring action makes it easier.) These also cut through messy, matted wool. These are also easy to sharpen with a large sharpening stone (and yes, you will have to sharpen them after shearing a few sheep to keep the shearing process easier -- I sharpened them for the first time after shearing about 4 sheep. Nothing stays sharp forever.). There might be better hand shears for shearing wool, however most are far too expensive, and too large. For the price, these are great and get the job done.

Nice and sharp

It is very sharp made out of german steel with german craftsmanship and quality. Love it.We use it to shear our horses and trim our dogs and it works perfectly, we already have 3 of them.It is difficult to find shears of this quality today.

I first cut some paper and then I went and sheared a sheep it was fun. These are my new scissors super sharp and cuts better than almost everything

These are fantastic- sharp, easy to use. Allows me to keep topiary trimmed more frequently

Good product, can tell it won't rust. Hands need to get used to the motion but easy to use for smaller hands. Slight dulling at the wider base part but it'll get the job done. Side note: it cuts skins very easily even slightly dull. Just a warning.

Novice shearer just working on my own small flock of sheep. First bought a pair of zenport shears not wanting to invest too much $ before I had some sense of what I wanted in a tool. These Bergers are like going from kid scissors to adult scissors! The weight and action really help me shear faster and easier (I'm still pretty darn slow).
