FAQs
Can I use these for pruning thick tree branches?
No, these are precision scissors for delicate stems and light materials. Using them on thick, woody branches may damage the blades.
Are these scissors left-hand friendly?
The handles are designed symmetrically, making them comfortable for both left and right-handed users.
Does the 10-year guarantee cover the blades?
The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity. It does not cover normal wear and tear or misuse.
Can I use these in the kitchen?
While sharp, they are not food-grade stainless steel; it is recommended to keep them for garden or craft use only.
How do I activate the safety lock?
Ensure the handles are fully squeezed together, then slide the catch located near the pivot or handle end to secure the blades.
Troubleshooting
The blades feel stiff or do not open fully.
Clean debris or sap from the pivot point and apply a drop of light machine oil to the joint.
The cutting action has become dull.
Use a fine-grit sharpening stone to touch up the edge of the SK5 carbon steel blades, following the existing blade angle.
Surface rust appearing on the blades.
Remove surface rust using a fine abrasive pad or steel wool, then thoroughly clean and oil the blades before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The scissors arrive ready for immediate use. To maintain the 10-year lifespan of the tool, wipe the blades with a clean, dry cloth after every gardening session to remove sap, moisture, and debris. Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot point and the blade surface to prevent oxidation. When not in use, always store the scissors in the locked position in a dry environment. Since the blades are made of high-carbon steel, avoid storing them in damp garden sheds without oil protection.
