Hey everyone!
So I got FISKARS P94 a couple years ago... are these good for pruning roses or should I upgrade to something else?

I tried to sharpen & oil them for the first time today and there are a few small ... indentations in the blade... do I need to file until they are gone? if so I'll basically be filing a new blade. . .

Perfect question sorry I have no answer. But I'm watching the responses.I think I'm gonna make the felco 2 my first purchase for pruners. But maybe someone will post on here and change my mind. I'm new to roses but the felco seems to be the favorite.

I have Felco 2 and 6. I like 2 better because of the longer blade.

I also have the Felco 21 Lopper and 611 saw (I use this saw a lot).

Yes. Get a good set of Felco's if you can afford it.

Also, last year Costco's was selling a package of imitation Felco's that even came with replacement blades, hardware and a sharpener. The quality was good for the price, so see if they carry them again this spring.
