Pros

Great for light-moderate cutting in closer spaces - grasses, blackberries, up to finger-thick * plants with no trouble. This blade is lightweight and has a balance i have dreamed of.

Cons

Poorly made. Needs to be sharpened. Once sharpened it starts to rust after washing. Loose handle manufacturing defect.
