Pruning shears
Hand-held cutting tool with curved blades designed for cleanly severing plant stems up to pencil thickness. Makes precise cuts that heal properly, essential for ethical foraging that doesn't kill the plant.
What to look for
- 1Curved blade (follows stem shape better than straight)
- 2Spring-loaded opening mechanism (reduces hand fatigue)
- 3Stainless steel blades (won't rust from plant moisture)
- 4Safety lock that engages sideways (easier one-handed operation)
Skip
- Scissors-style with straight blades (crushes stems instead of cutting)
- Models without blade lock (dangerous in pockets/bags)
Used for: Harvesting herbs and greens · Clipping flowers without damaging stalks · Collecting plant samples
