To provide pruning shears for solving such problems that resin adhesion to a cutting edge of shears in lopping or pruning work worsens sharpness and lowers efficiency, and simultaneously, a cutting quality of blades is reduced and finish becomes poor in appearance, and performing removal of resin simultaneously with lopping or pruning work, increasing work efficiency, and alleviating work of preventing resin solidification caused by being left after finishing work.

The pruning shears allows a user to perform work of removing resin simultaneously with lopping or pruning work, by fitting a cylindrical container 2c for containing a liquid to one handle 2b of the shears, inserting a conduit tube 7 into the container 2c, and leading the liquid to blades 1a and 1b through the conduit tube.
