The curved blades of SME 33C, made with high percentage of carbon, are covered with hard chromium to resist rust and increase branch penetration. The clear and precise cut makes the wood surface smooth and flat, preventing infections and allowing fast formation of scar tissue on the branch. The teeth have been sharpened on three levels and have been pulse-tempered for maximum duration of sharpening. The special blade processing, called “surface flaring”, is designed to improve branch penetration by drastically reducing friction. Is equipped with pouch and adjustable buckle.
