Fiskars Take-Apart Shears for Garden, Kitchen & Fishing [Herb/Vegetable, SoftGrip]

Product Description

Fiskars Herb & Vegetable Shears are 8 inch garden scissors made for harvesting herbs, vegetables, fruit and flowers, with one feature most garden snips lack: the two blades separate completely for cleaning. Fully hardened, precision-ground stainless-steel blades stay sharp through heavy use, and a serrated blade edge grips and holds stems so they do not slide out of the cut. A contoured handle with SoftGrip touchpoints fits the hand comfortably and gives a secure grip, even with wet or gloved hands.

Features & Benefits

• Take-apart blades separate for easy cleaning, so you can rinse, wipe and dry both sides of each blade, including the pivot area where sap and residue collect.
• Serrated blade edge grips and holds stems for clean, controlled cuts.
• Fully hardened, precision-ground stainless-steel blades stay sharp, even through heavy use.
• Made for thicker stems than delicate snips can handle, such as squash, peppers, tomatoes, kale and woody herbs like rosemary.
• Ergonomically sculpted handle fits your hand comfortably during long harvest sessions.
• SoftGrip touchpoints enhance comfort and control.
• Backed by the Fiskars full lifetime warranty.

Why the Take-Apart Design Matters

A clean cut helps herbs and vegetable plants recover and regrow, and clean blades help avoid carrying plant disease from one plant to the next. Standard scissors trap sap, soil and moisture under the pivot where you cannot reach it. With these shears you simply open the handles wide, separate the two halves, wash and dry each one, then slip them back together.

Popular Beyond the Garden

Customer reviews show these shears rarely stay in the garden shed. Many owners keep a second pair in the kitchen for herbs, vegetables, meat and packaging, because the blades come apart for a thorough wash between foods. Anglers reach for Fiskars garden shears as well, using them to trim bait, snip line and cut gills to bleed a catch, then separating the blades to rinse away scales and slime before it dries in the pivot. After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and dry completely.

Good to Know

• The blades are designed to separate when the handles are opened wide. Keep the handles within the normal cutting range during use, and do not open them fully while rinsing over the side of a boat or you may lose half the shears.
• Hand wash and dry thoroughly before reassembling. Stainless steel resists rust but is not rust proof if stored wet.
• Intended for herbs, vegetables, flowers and light green stems. Use bypass pruners or loppers for woody branches.
• Reviewers note the serrated edge is not suited to home resharpening.
