I've killed hundreds of chickens using this method:

Get a pair of very sharp garden shears like these. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HP8Z5J6?psc=1 the longer the blades the better, possibly 2" and they must be very sharp and in great shape.
Wrap the chicken in an old towel with the head sticking out. Stand up, and bend over, and hold the chicken between your ankles gently, and hold the head in your hand covering the eyes and beak, and stretch out the neck.
Place the shears around the neck 2 1/2" behind the base of the head, and get as much of the neck in the shears as possible.
Say: "Thanks for being a good chicken, and thanks for the food you've provided for our family, we really appreciated having you with us.".
Give one big SNIP and then if that doesn't do it, snip the remainder, then place the head on the ground on a rag.
The body will convulse and blood will be dispersed, which is why I prefer to use an upside down cone to hold the birds instead of in my hands, but if you don't have a cone, just do your best and the towel will greatly reduce flapping.
The head's eyes will close in 3 or 4 seconds and it's all done peacefully, and humanely, and it's over so quickly for the head and brain, that I feel it's the most humane way I can end a chickens' productive life.

Okay, all that stuff that needs pruning only needs it once a year or so, so you're not using them all day every day. So you don't really need the ergonomic-handled Fiskars.

Rosewood is an expensive tropical hardwood better suited to little occasional tables, musical instruments, and inlaid chess sets. I have no idea what bright bulb down at the cheap Chinese pruner factory thought it would be a good choice for a cheap pair of pruners, except for the obvious explanation that they are lying and it's just grained and stained pine.

Oak seems a more logical choice for a tool handle--except that you don't make tool handles out of oak. Hickory and ash are the near-universal choices for tool handles, since they're tough but springy. Oak is dense, heavy, and makes good furniture that will last for generations, but you use oak for a cudgel to beat someone's brains in, not for a pruner handle. Again, I suspect some skullduggery at the factory with a bucket of wood stain.

So, you're choosing between Cheap Chinese Pruner #1 and Cheap Chinese Pruner #2. I'll take "None of the Above" for $200, Alex.

These are mine. I bought them in 1986 when we moved into this house.

They are solid forged steel construction. Two steel handles, each with a half a jaw attached. No rivets to loosen and break, no wood to warp and splinter. They have some kind of hard squishy rubberized coating on the handles, and then of course the yellow vinyl tape, to enable me to locate where I put it down in the flowerbed.

I am not able to discern a brand name, what with all the tape, but as far as I can tell, they are these, or something very similar.

The same $15, but a completely different tool.

Also, the handles on your selections seem oddly long for a set of pruners, and they aren't shaped or curved. They look like a couple of sticks attached to the jaws. The complete lack of even a nod to ergonomic comfort is a marker for something designed in a hurry for the U.S. cheap garden tool mass market. Yardworks "does" tools for Menards.

I do not own floral shears. All my cutting needs are taken care of by the pruners for the big stuff, and by a pair of big kitchen utility scissors from Dollar Tree IIRC. I also own a set of loppers for the really big stuff.
