Frostproof, here in Frostproof, Florida, has replacement parts available for the Felco2. I ordered from them about 7 years ago when I was still an Ohio buckeye and received my order very promptly and well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again (disclaimer: no connection).

Hi Juneroses,
Thank you for the link. Even though I replaced the old pair of Felco2's because I gave up on finding blades and figured sharpening would not work and my Knockout roses were getting away from me, I am going to order these blades for the old pair, now that I know where to find them. I can pretend that Mr. Boomer will use the backup pair, pruning along with me.
But I have to tell you that Mr. Boomer is not into the gardening stuff. If only I could convince him that the Felco2 is a power tool. I do have him convinced that the food processor is a power tool and so he likes to use that, but I don't think I can pull that power tool thing off for the Felco2's.
But I am going to get those blades anyway. You just never know. And if I got another holster, I could have one on each side and look like some kind of gardening Annie Oakley maybe. (Hey! I think Annie Oakley was a Buckeye, too.)
Here is a link to that Hori Hori knife from Smith and Hawken that I paid homage to in my last post. This is the one I like to give as a gift with just a bow around the handle. I have not bought one for a while, but if this one is as sturdy and tough as the one I have, gardeners will love it.

Yesterday was glorious here, but today it rained all day. So here I found myself typing away about gardening tools. Can you tell I have Spring Fever? A serious case of it.
