Pointed-Tip Stainless Steel Hand Shears

• Swedish Stainless Steel Blades 
• Serrated Cutting Edge
• One-Piece Orange Handles 
• Lifetime Warranty

Pointed-Tip Stainless Steel Hand Shears are built for the small, precise cuts that keep gardens looking tidy. The Swedish stainless steel blades are made in Italy and include a serrated edge that helps grip slippery stems so they don’t push away mid-snip. At 7.5" overall, they give you a little more reach than tiny snips but still feel nimble for harvesting, deadheading, and light pruning. We like the shears' clean cuts on flowers and vegetables, plus a pointed tip that can slip into tight spaces without bruising surrounding growth.

The handle was designed for comfort and visibility. One-piece molded composite handles in bright orange are easy to spot in mulch, and the molded lanyard hole is handy if you like to clip tools to an apron or belt loop. A quick-reach thumb latch keeps them closed between tasks. The spring is replaceable, so the shears can stay snappy over time.

Product Tips

• Use the pointed tip to get in between stems for deadheading without cutting nearby buds.
• Let the serrated blade grip the stem; avoid twisting during the cut for a cleaner finish.
• For harvesting, cut stems on a slight angle to improve water uptake in a vase or harvest bin.
• Rinse sticky sap off the blades and dry after use; stainless resists rust, but clean blades cut better.
• If the action starts feeling weak, replace the spring before you assume the blades are dull.

FAQs

What are these shears best used for?

They’re great for harvesting flowers or vegetables, deadheading, cutting string while tying plants, and detailed light pruning for bonsai, topiary, and espalier work.

How to use Pointed-Tip Stainless Steel Hand Shears?

Open the blades fully, position the cutting edge on the stem you want to remove, and squeeze in one smooth motion. For tight work, lead with the pointed tip to isolate the target stem, then finish the cut without twisting. Close the thumb latch when moving between plants or storing.

Do the blades resist sticking?

Yes. The stainless steel blades are designed to resist sticking, which helps when you’re cutting juicy stems or working in humid conditions.

Can the spring be replaced?

Yes. The spring is replaceable, which helps keep the cutting action quick and consistent over time.

What warranty comes with them?

They’re covered by A.M. Leonard’s lifetime warranty program.
