Yes, the name's ROLCUT, Rolcut Anvil Secateurs. Ebay's a good place to find
them.

Sorry, the Gremlins are at work on my keyboard. For Rolcut read ROLLCUT.

Rollcut.
I was asked a couple of years ago to get a pair for a very elderly
ex-professional gardener.
Company's no longer around. The only guy I could find via the net that sells
new ones now was in the USA as he bought up all the stock. They were
remarkably cheap and he sent them very quickly. Seemed a nice guy when I
spoke to him.
Crap tools actually, get some Felcos instead, they even do an anvil model
No.30, it's the make the professionals use. If they insist on the anvil type
and you can't go to Felco's then Wilkinson or Wolf make a better effort of
it than Rollcut ever did.

My Dad had a pair of rollcut, with the hardened black steel blade and
brass anvil they were very good - but my so are my Wilkinson Sword
heavy duty anvil secateurs. The ones I have are not on the latest
catalogue, of course...
