Chikamasa CRI360SFV Scissors, Straight Blade, Fluorine, Violet, Wire Cutter

Chikamasa CRI360SFV — Floral Scissors with Wire-Cutting Groove, Fluorine, Violet

The Chikamasa CRI360SFV is a multi-purpose floral scissor designed for growers who want one tool capable of handling a range of tasks at the garden and harvest station. Built around a straight stainless steel blade with fluorine coating and fitted with large ergonomic handles in violet, the CRI360SFV is a practical and distinctive scissor that covers wet trimming, cloning, de-leafing, and harvest preparation in a single tool — with the added capability of a dedicated wire-cutting groove.

The CRI360SFV includes a wire-cutting groove integrated into the blade, allowing the grower to snip thin plant support wire without bringing the wire into contact with the cutting edge of the main blade — which would dull or damage it over time. The fluorine coating on the straight stainless steel blade prevents sap and resin from sticking. Large ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip for extended work. The violet color makes the CRI360SFV easy to identify. Made in Japan.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wire-cutting groove — a dedicated groove in the blade allows thin plant wire to be snipped cleanly without contacting the main cutting edge, protecting the blade from premature dulling.
• Fluorine-coated stainless steel blade — non-stick fluorine coating prevents sap and resin adhesion; stainless steel blade resists corrosion for durability in wet environments.
• Large ergonomic handles in violet — oversized handles provide a comfortable, low-fatigue grip; violet color makes the CRI360SFV easy to identify among other tools.
• Versatile use case — suitable for wet trimming, cloning, de-leafing, and general harvest preparation — a multi-purpose tool for the garden and harvest station.
• Made in Japan — manufactured in Japan to Chikamasa quality standards for precise construction and reliable performance.

Who Should Use Chikamasa CRI360SFV Scissors

Growers who want a versatile multi-purpose scissor for wet trimming, cloning, de-leafing, and harvest preparation — with the added utility of a wire-cutting groove for managing plant support wire without dulling the main cutting edge.

The Wire-Cutting Groove: Protecting the Blade Edge

Using standard scissors to cut plant wire is a common but damaging habit — wire is hard enough to nick or dull a fine cutting edge quickly. The wire-cutting groove on the CRI360SFV solves this by providing a dedicated channel in the blade specifically designed for cutting thin wire. The wire is seated in the groove and cut cleanly, with no contact with the main blade edge. This keeps the fine cutting edge sharp for trimming tasks while adding wire-cutting utility to the same tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chikamasa CRI360SFV?

The CRI360SFV is a floral scissor with a straight stainless steel blade with fluorine coating, large ergonomic handles in violet, and a dedicated wire-cutting groove. It is suitable for wet trimming, cloning, de-leafing, and harvest preparation. Made in Japan.

What does the wire-cutting groove do?

The wire-cutting groove is a dedicated channel in the blade designed to cut thin plant support wire cleanly without contacting the main cutting edge of the scissor. This protects the fine blade edge from the dulling effect of cutting wire.

Why are the handles larger than standard trimming scissors?

The CRI360SFV has larger ergonomic handles compared to standard trimming scissors like the B500 series. The larger handle provides a more comfortable and stable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use — particularly for tasks like de-leafing and wet trimming where the scissors are in constant use.

What tasks is the CRI360SFV suitable for?

The CRI360SFV is designed for wet trimming, cloning, de-leafing, and general harvest preparation. The wire-cutting groove adds the ability to cut thin plant wire without damaging the blade.

How do I clean the CRI360SFV?

Wipe the blade clean after use. Isopropyl alcohol removes sap and resin from the fluorine-coated stainless steel blade. For the wire-cutting groove, use a thin cloth or cotton swab to clean any residue that may accumulate in the groove.
