What goes first

On pruners, snips and the bladed weeder, the wear point is the edge. Listings describe a blade by its action, its material and sometimes a coating, and the Fiskars bypass listing prints a cut capacity.

What the listings say

Seven listings name a blade. The count stating that a part can be replaced is one, and the count printing a hardness figure is none.

Penn State Extension describes bypass blades as passing each other like scissors, and an anvil blade as closing against a blunt, flat surface.

Hardness of metals is measured by published test methods such as the Rockwell test in ISO 6508-1. A steel or coating named in a listing is not a hardness figure.

The micro-tip snips listing makes a claim about its edge over time. It is quoted on the card as the seller’s words, and this site does not assess how long any edge lasts.

Silence is silenceA pruner listing that says nothing about its blade has not promised anything about the edge. This site does not fill that gap with an estimate.
