    @Neil King if there is still available I would like to have one as well. I'm in the uk and would love to do the review on Amazon for you. Thanks.

    My neighbour just delivered this:

    CIMG0001.JPG

    (our postman often mixes up addresses :doh: ) and considering I wasn't expecting them before next Thursday, very swift (free) delivery too!!

    So, tomorrow they will be tested and then a review will be forthcoming :thumbsup:

      Those look snazzy, not too dissimilar to a pair of Felco's

          Mine have arrived, but I have been at work so not tried them yet; they seem to be very nicely made, I have to say - good straight edge to the blades, perfectly aligned all the way to the tips, nice grips to hold and a good 'action' to them too. I am looking forward to trying them, hopefully later in the week.

            We were the first to apply for them but haven't received them yet. Maybe the delivery people weren't able to get through Shineyland Border Control :heehee:

                I've always Felco no 2, you just can't beat them. The advantage of the red handles is you can easily find them again if you put them down in the garden, those black handled ones will be lost foreverrrrrr.

                    Hi all - just sent out the last of codes for the UK - afraid they're all gone now. Thanks to everyone who got in quick, and sorry if you missed out. Still some USA codes left - but not many US peeps on here I guess...
