FELCO 5/3 - Replacement Blade

FELCO 5/3 Replacement Blade

The FELCO 5/3 is a genuine high-performance bypass cutting blade designed specifically for the FELCO 5 (Standard) and FELCO 160L (Essentials Large) pruning shears. Crafted from hardened steel, this blade is the engine of your tool, providing the clean and precise cuts that are essential for the health of your plants. Over time, heavy use can lead to blade wear or nicks that hinder performance; replacing it with this original Swiss part ensures your shears return to their factory-standard cutting efficiency. It is the most cost-effective way to refresh your tool without the need to purchase a completely new pair of pruners.
