These are High Quality Japanese made bypass hand pruners. The blade are composed of two layers. A hard core covered by a softer steel. Th harder material blade allows for easier branch cutting. However, hard blades are easier to break. That's why this blade is covered by a more pliable steel. This composite makes the blade durable and sharp.
This is the same structure as Japanese chefs knives.
The core blades are made from heat treated "Yasuki Clad Steel" for excellent resistance to abrasion. And because the steel is solid right to its core, these pruners will maintain their sharp cutting edge even after extended use.
