Product description
The motion
Prune flowers, stems, and small shrubs with a clean cut, without excessive strain on the branch.
Why it is different
Forged from a single piece of iron, including the blade and spring. No tension screws, no added mechanisms; the spring is integrated directly into the metal, an ancient technique that simplifies the tool to its essence.
Why this pruner instead of a model with an external spring
Its mechanical simplicity makes it more robust over time than a pruner with an external spring, which can become misaligned or jam with use—a tool rarely found in French garden centers, where industrial pruners with two articulated blades and visible metal springs dominate.
Why I chose it
“I chose this pruner because I love finding the same pursuit of precision in garden tools as in kitchen utensils. The shape is entirely designed around the hand and the cutting motion. This is what particularly interests me about Dogou: showing that this culture of well-designed tools does not only apply to cooking, but can accompany many daily tasks.”
You will love it if
- you garden or regularly arrange bouquets and are looking for a simple, robust tool
- you prefer a minimal mechanism over an external spring system
- you are willing to maintain it (light oil, drying) to keep it for a long time
It is probably not for you if
- you are looking for a pruner for thick branches (this one is designed for flowers, stems, and small shrubs)
- maintenance against rust (untreated raw metal) does not appeal to you
In practice
Forged iron, blade and body in one piece, lightweight. Wipe after use to prevent rust, apply a little light oil to the hinge and spring once a month, store in a dry place.
An object designed to last
Its mechanical simplicity (a single piece of iron, no added mechanisms) and regular maintenance make it a tool designed to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these shears forged in one piece?
The spring is built directly into the metal, with no tension screw or added mechanism, which simplifies the tool and makes it sturdier over time.
What should I use them on?
On flowers, stems and small shrubs, for gardening as well as flower arrangements.
How do I look after them?
Wipe the blade after use to prevent rust, lightly oil the hinge and spring once a month, and store them somewhere dry.
