The Gardener's Blade is meant for trimming and is not suitable for mowing large areas. It will easily cut heavy plants or live woody stems up to 1/2" thick. Slow and careful stoning to sharpen the blade is important so the stone does not slip off the edge running the risk of cutting your knuckles on the edge of the turned down nose.
