FAQ
Should I get the straight or the curved blade?
Straight is the better default. It's faster for open trim work, sees more use, and handles the bulk of the job — deadheading, pinching, light pruning, general bud manicuring. Curved is the specialist tool for tight spots where you need the cutting edge to sit flush against the material. If you're only buying one pair, get straight. If you're trimming serious volume, get both and rotate.
Are these good for wet trimming?
Yes — the spring-loaded action makes these well-suited to fast wet trim work where you're moving through fresh material. Wipe the blades regularly with isopropyl to stop sap and resin gumming up the pivot. For long sessions, having two pairs in rotation lets one soak while you use the other.
Will the blades stay sharp?
Yes for the duration of normal hand-trimming use — the titanium-coated stainless steel holds an edge well for the price point. They aren't meant for hardwood or heavy stems. Stick to softwood, vines, buds, and small shrubs and they'll last you many harvests. If you're trimming finger-thick stems, reach for secateurs instead.
Can I use these on tomato plants and herbs?
Yes — that's exactly the kind of softwood pruning these are built for. Tomato suckers, basil pinching, deadheading flowers, training vines on tomatoes or cucumbers, light shrub work. The straight blade is the right pick for this kind of open garden work.
How do I clean resin buildup?
Isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher) on a cloth handles light buildup during a session. For deep cleaning after a big trim, soak the blade end in iso for 15–20 minutes, then scrub with an old toothbrush. Dry thoroughly before storing — moisture trapped under residue is what corrodes the pivot.
