Other than two Felco and an Opinel I have a Gardena and two Black&Deckers.

For me, the Felco is the standard by which all others are measured. The Opinel looks and feels right, I´ll give it some use tomorrow. The Gardena is a bit smaller but performs well enough. The Black&Deckers were 7 euro for the both of them and you get exactly what you expect for that kind of money. I dare not use them fearing they'll break.

I have a few cheapo knock offs and a Fiskar Gerber that is pretty good :tu: So I definitely need to upgrade to either a Felco or Opinel :dd: :like:

These Coronas look fine to me. Maybe it's a Felco in Europe versus Corona in US thing.

I think Corona copied Felco :think: Because Felco is one of the best brands in the US as well :tu:

Coronas are some cheaper and I have been very tempted to get one of them a time or two :ahhh :o They do seem to be quality though just not as high of quality as Felco :cheers: Felco is used by people in the agricultural trade and in nurserys as well :like:

Corona has made a surge in the last few years though and are seen more and more :tu:
