A Classic Design Reimagined for Today
The Leyat Professional 1917 Traditional Secateurs No. 4 embody more than a century of pruning innovation. Staying true to the original 1917 Leyat design, these secateurs feature a fine cutting head for precision pruning while incorporating modern enhancements such as a PTFE-coated blade to resist rust and sap build-up.
Strength and Versatility
Built from first-quality hardened steel, the blades ensure sharp, clean cuts up to 25mm in diameter, promoting healthier plant growth. A sap groove prevents sticking during repetitive tasks, while the wire-cutting notch adds extra functionality for orchard and vineyard work.
Ergonomic and Comfortable
The forged aluminium handles are lightweight but strong, coated with non-slip plastic for extra comfort and control. Designed for both left- and right-handed users, they fit all hand sizes, making them versatile for professional teams. The 3 adjustable opening positions provide further adaptability, reducing fatigue for long days in the field.
Durability and Safety
An integrated shock absorber protects wrists from impact and strain, while the thumb lock mechanism ensures safe closure and controlled opening. Every pair is fully serviceable, with spare blades, springs, and maintenance packs available, making them a reliable long-term investment.
Swiss-Made Heritage
Manufactured in Switzerland, the Leyat No. 4 continues the brand's tradition of precision engineering and quality craftsmanship. Inspired by the wine-growing and arboriculture region where Leyat was founded, these secateurs reflect over 100 years of expertise in pruning tool design.
