Know before you buy
While originally designed for thinning grapes, their slender, pointed blades are perfect for any task requiring high precision. They excel at deadheading delicate flowers, harvesting herbs, or detailed craft projects like paper cutting and model making.
No, these are precision tools, not heavy-duty pruners. They have a maximum cutting diameter of 3mm, so they should be reserved for soft stems, thin stalks, or fine detail work.
Yes, they are crafted from stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. However, to keep them in top condition, it is best to wipe them clean and dry them thoroughly after use, especially if they have been used on damp plant material.
The handles feature a vinyl grip, which provides a soft, non-slip surface that is comfortable for repetitive tasks. Their lightweight design—weighing only 63g—also helps reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
These scissors are forged in Sanjo, Japan, a region world-renowned for its long history of high-quality metalwork and blade craftsmanship.
