I used to buy every hand tool that sparked my interest as something that might be useful in my job, but now I’m pretty settled and don’t try many new tools. I tried that one years and years ago and actually sometimes use a different model with the same closure arrangement but with twin blades making it suitable for thinning apples that form clusters that break apart completely when you try to thin them by hand.
I think you can trust Barkslip’s evaluation, but the question is, is the closure system adequate for your needs. I believe the steel is much like the very hard ARS steel. A bit hard to sharpen but stays sharp a very long time- at least 4X as long as a Felco.
I believe the ARS VS series can be had for just a few more bucks and comes in 3 different sizes. This is very good for women. ARS also makes a hand pruner especially for women that I’ve had a client rave about. It was pink and probably the size of a 7.
The danger of the ARS design is that it can accidentally open if you keep it in your pocket because it’s designed to open when you press the handles together. I once badly cut my hand because I placed it in my pocket handles first to protect the pocket fabric.
Now I tend to only keep it in a holster and use a lesser pruner with a different kind of closing system that is very small for pocket travel.
