Know before you buy
Yes, the compact 6.77-inch design is specifically well-suited for smaller hands, offering better control and maneuverability than standard-sized pruning shears.
These scissors are versatile enough for both. While they excel at deadheading and cutting soft stems, the high-carbon steel blades can handle woody stems up to 5mm (0.2 inches) in diameter.
No, these scissors do not feature a spring mechanism. They are designed with traditional round handles that rely on your manual grip, which provides a more tactile, controlled feel for delicate pruning tasks.
Yes, the design is ambidextrous. The traditional round handle shape allows for a comfortable, secure grip regardless of which hand you prefer to use.
Because they are made from high-carbon steel, the blades should be kept clean and dry after every use to prevent rust. It is also recommended to occasionally wipe them with a light coat of camellia oil to maintain their sharpness and protect the metal.
