Know before you buy
Yes. The scissors feature a symmetrical, ambidextrous design that allows them to function equally well in either hand without compromising grip or control.
These scissors are best suited for lighter tasks like harvesting herbs, trimming greens, or deadheading flowers. They are not designed for cutting thick, woody branches.
The blades are heat-treated for durability and can be professionally sharpened when they eventually dull. With proper care and occasional sharpening, they are built to last for years.
The construction is rust and water-resistant, making them durable for outdoor use. However, as with any tool featuring natural wood, it is best to wipe them dry after use to maintain the integrity and appearance of the walnut handles.
The overall length of the tool is 7.75 inches, with a 4-inch blade length, providing a balanced size that is easy to maneuver for precise cutting.
