BrushKing® was founded by Gus Loos in the mid-1980s. While traveling in Germany, Loos came across a knife blade maker who made high-quality, durable blades. Loos struck up a deal with the blade maker to begin buying blades for what would become BrushKing®.

In early 1985, BrushKing® was born, and the product line has been in business ever since. Today, we ship to customers all over the world. Our BrushKing® shearing knives are the number one choice for Christmas Tree shearing, chosen by many Christmas Tree distributors. Read on to learn about some of the shearing knives we offer and how you can use them.

Shearing Knife Uses:

Shearing knives are mainly used in tree trimming. It is extremely important to maintain Christmas trees through the trimming or shearing process because shearing promotes healthy, longer lasting trees. Christmas tree distributors use BrushKing® shearing knives to maintain the aesthetics and health of their trees. Shearing knives can also be used by landscapers to trim hedges, bushes, and shrubs. Shearing knives are also used on banana plantations to remove dead or diseased leaves from the banana plants.
