Grass shears

Thank you to all the people who responded to my previous post.  You recommended Bahco, Wilkinson and Fiskars, I have been to all three websites and none of them have what I want.  All their grass shears are either long-handled or single handed, both of which I've tried and couldn't get on with.  I want what my dear departed dad used, two handles and you kneel to use them, to go round the edges where the mower can't get.  Spear and Jackson do a pair, they're £14 which seems cheap to me, but I think they're a reputable make, aren't they?  Other makers offer what looks like what I want, but they're described as hedge shears.  Would they be any good on grass?

    I bought some in Ho..ba.. for around £8  and they are working just fine on grass, shrubby bits and scrubby bits!

    I've had a pair of Spear and Jackson ones for umpteen canteen years so they do last long. Go for them!

    I suspect the OP has been looking at edging shears if they all have long handles.  Every manufacturer makes standard garden shears.

    Thanks for your help, everyone.  S& J it shall be, then.
