Long-handled lawn shears, horizontal not edging

Hi
Can anyone recommend a decent make of long-handled lawn shears please? I have a good lightweight pair for edging, but the horizontal cutting pair are awful, the handles bump together hurting my knuckles and the blades don't close all the way along so they are pretty useless.
I've seen loads of edging shears but I need flat/horizontal blades to cut along the edge of the lawn by a wall and around the steps to the decking. I have done it on my hands and knees with hedge shears but it takes ages as the lawn is very big.
There's a pair of Wilkinson Sword ones on Amazon but I'm not very trusting of Amazon reviews as you hear so much about fake ones. I searched the forum but couldn't find anything specific so if anyone has a trusty pair they can recommend I'd be grateful!
Thanks

No longer newish but can't think of a new name so will remain forever newish.
