Corona Long Straight Snips - 1.75in Blade - Stainless Steel

Fine-Tip Straight Snips for Detail Cutting, Stainless Steel Blade

Deadheading a spent bloom or snipping a single stem out of a dense planting calls for a blade that goes exactly where it is pointed, not a full-size shear that disturbs everything around it. Corona Long Straight Snips deliver that with a 1.75in stainless steel blade and a fine pointed tip, built for direct, straight-on cuts into individual stems and growth points.

Lightweight grips and an attached leather strap lock keep this tool comfortable through extended sessions and secured between them, making it a fit for gardeners, herb growers, and flower producers doing detail work in tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use straight snips instead of curved snips?

Straight snips work best for direct, flat cuts where the blade enters the cutting zone straight-on. Curved snips are better suited for guiding the blade around stems and into angled positions within dense growth.

How do I resharpen the blades?

The stainless steel blades can be resharpened with a fine sharpening stone following the original bevel angle. Do this once the cutting edge starts to dull with extended use.

How should I clean these snips between plants?

Wipe the blades and pivot with isopropyl alcohol or a damp cloth after each session to remove plant sap and residue. Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion.

Can I use these for deadheading flowers?

Yes, the fine pointed tip and straight blade are well suited for deadheading spent flowers and trimming growth tips. The precise targeting avoids disturbing nearby flowers or buds.
