Tool type
The pruner
Bypass pruners and straight-blade snips, closed by hand. All six listings in this category name a blade.
Why it hangs on this wear point
The blade edge is the only wear point a pruner listing here names, and every one of them names it. What differs is whether the listing says anything about replacing it.
What drives it
Driven by hand. No pruner listing in this catalog states a motor, a battery or a voltage.

What published documents cover
Penn State Extension describes bypass blades as passing each other like scissors, and an anvil blade as closing against a blunt platform. All the bypass pruners here say bypass in their listings.
Hardness is measured by published test methods such as ASTM E18. No pruner listing here prints a hardness figure, and this site does not estimate one.
