Needle Nose Hand Shears

• 2-Inch Japanese Blades
• Chrome-Plated Finish
• Needle Nose Precision Tip
• Leather Loop Lock

Needle Nose Hand Shears are made for the snips you can’t do cleanly with a chunky pruner. The narrow, pointed tip slips into tight growth and crowded blooms, and the 2-inch high-carbon, heat-treated Japanese steel blades deliver a crisp cut that holds up through repeated deadheading. Chrome plating helps resist rust, corrosion, and sticky sap buildup, which keeps the action smoother during long sessions. Our crew reaches for these when we’re grooming perennials or taking cuttings and want a tool with control.

At 7-5/8 inches overall and 6 ounces, they sit comfortably in the hand for quick, repetitive work like harvesting herbs or trimming spent flowers. Vinyl-covered handles give you a steady grip, and the coil spring pops the blades back open for faster pacing. A simple leather loop keeps the handles together when stored and works as an effective lock when you’re carrying them in a pocket or apron.

Product Tips

• Use the pointed tip to reach down to the base of a spent bloom without nicking nearby buds.
• Wipe the blades after sap-heavy plants to keep the spring action snappy.
• For cuttings, make a clean angled snip just below a node for easier rooting.
• Keep the leather loop dry between uses so it stays firm and easy to fasten.
• Touch up the edge with a fine sharpener rather than forcing dull blades through stems.
