Stainless-Steel Hand Shears

• Italian-Made Swedish Steel 
• 1-5/8" Blades For Fine Work
• Large Molded Nylon Grips 
• Lifetime Warranty

Stainless-Steel Hand Shears are the perfect size and balance for detail work. Made in Italy exclusively for A.M. Leonard, they use Swedish steel blades with a narrow pointed profile that’s easy to fit into tight spots for clean, precise cuts. The non-serrated blades are a nice fit for harvesting and deadheading because they slice cleanly and release stems without catching. Plus, they’re sharp enough to handle everything from plant ties to thin green growth. We recommend these for gardeners looking for a compact shear that feels controlled and comfortable, especially for repeated quick snips.

The oversized molded nylon grips are built for comfort and ambidextrous use, with enough room to feel secure even when you’re wearing light gloves. With a Rockwell hardness around 50, the blades hold their edge, even under frequent use. It’s a straightforward tool, but it’s the kind you’ll reach for constantly once it’s in your pocket or apron.

Product Tips

• Use these on flowers, herbs, and green stems; switch to a heavier pruner for woody growth.
• Cut string and soft ties with the mid-blade, not the tip, to keep the point aligned.
• Wipe blades after sticky sap work.
• A drop of light oil at the pivot keeps the action crisp.
• Store closed or in a pocket sheath so the tips don’t get nicked in a tool bucket.

FAQs

What are these hand shears best for?

Fine cutting: harvesting flowers or vegetables, deadheading, trimming herbs, cutting string while tying plants, and light detail work like bonsai or topiary.

How to use the Stainless-Steel Hand Shears?

Open the blades fully, position the pointed tip where you want the cut, then squeeze in one smooth motion to finish the snip without twisting. For delicate stems, support the stem with your other hand so it doesn’t tear as it releases. Wipe the blades clean after use and store them dry.

Are the blades serrated?

No. These are smooth, non-serrated blades designed for clean slicing and easy release.

Will they work for left-handed users?

Yes. The large molded grips are designed to be comfortable for either right- or left-hand use.

What warranty is included?

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