FELCO / Hand tools
FELCO 903 Diamond-Coated Sharpening Tool
The FELCO 903 is a compact diamond-coated hardened-steel sharpening tool, listed at 3.94 inches long and 0.11 pound. It is a manual maintenance option for a gardener willing to follow the pruning tool's existing blade geometry rather than relying on a pull-through slot to set an assumed angle. FELCO directs users to its instruction cards and maintenance guidance for correct technique. Its small format fits a pruning maintenance kit and is specifically accommodated by the FELCO 910+ holster. The sensible use case is an appropriate touch-up or honing task on a serviceable blade, after cleaning and inspection. It should not be treated as proof that a cracked, bent or heavily damaged blade can be made safe by removing more metal. Check the exact cutting tool's instructions first, keep control of the exposed edge and seek service when the required repair goes beyond routine sharpening.
