By-pass or anvil?
 
By-pass pruners

These are suitable for all types of pruning: shaping, maintenance, fructification, flower cutting.
The principle: the blade slides along the counter blade and gives a clean, bevelled cut.

Anvil pruners

This cutting system requires less effort and is suitable for cutting all types of wood (including dead wood) or for cutting softer materials (rubber, plastic).
The principle: the blade presses against the anvil to cut.
