The long skinny blades allow you to get into tight spaces and make precise cuts without leaving stubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kuroco snips are well balanced, lightweight and fit snugly in your hand. \u003cspan\u003eAnd this version with soft, tea-green leather-wrapped handles feels exceptional in hand. Perfect if you need to use your snips all day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bud pruning in Japan, I think they are also great for deadheading, cutflowers, and harvesting veggies. If you do a lot of these types of work, using snips instead of secateurs gives your hand and wrist a break from using a heavier tool all day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is a step up from inexpensive flower snips with flimsy leather or plastic clasps. The higher quality steel sharpens and holds an edge better, and the sturdier construction means that they'll last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also come without the leather-wrapped handles:  \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kuroco snips\" href=\"https:\/\/gardenerskit.com\/products\/kuroco-snips\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKuroco snips\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshioka Hamono","offers":[{"title":"180mm","offer_id":43148558630975,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200mm","offer_id":43148558663743,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2982\/3520\/files\/F6A078D4-E622-43CB-80FF-F6F906B6CD4D.heic?v=1776893236","url":"https:\/\/gardenerskit.com\/products\/kuroco-snips-leather-wrapped","provider":"Gardener's Kit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
