Corona Long Straight Snips - 1.75in Blade - Detail Cutting and Deadheading

The Corona Long Straight Snips deliver precise, clean cuts for harvesting and deadheading tasks where a long, narrow straight blade provides direct access to individual stems and growth points in tight spaces. The 1.75in tempered steel blade with a fine pointed tip allows accurate snipping of flowers, stems, buds, fruits, and vegetables with the control needed for detail work in dense plantings. Fully heat-treated tempered steel blades with corrosion-resistant treatment for durability and edge retention. The lightweight grips and attached leather strap lock provide comfort during extended use and secure storage between sessions.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1.75in Straight Fine-Tip Blade: Long, narrow straight blade profile provides direct access for clean cuts on individual stems and growth tips in tight canopy spaces where larger shears cannot reach accurately.
• Tempered Steel Construction: Fully heat-treated tempered steel blades with corrosion-resistant treatment for durability and edge retention.
• Detail Cutting and Deadheading: Fine pointed tip allows precise targeting of specific stems, spent flowers, and growth tips for deadheading and selective harvesting without disturbing adjacent growth.
• Leather Strap Lock: The attached leather strap secures the blades for safe storage and carrying, eliminating the need for a separate sheath or cover between uses.
• Lightweight Grips: Slim, lightweight handle construction supports comfortable extended use without contributing unnecessary tool weight during repetitive cutting tasks.

Who Should Use This

Designed for gardeners, herb growers, flower producers, and horticulturalists who regularly perform detail cutting, deadheading, and selective harvesting tasks. Well suited for anyone working in dense plantings where a long narrow blade improves access and the straight tip supports direct, clean cuts on specific growth points.

Compatibility

Suitable for soft to medium-hardness stems, flowers, buds, fruits, and vegetables. Not designed for woody branches or hard-stemmed shrubs. Wipe blades with isopropyl alcohol between plants to reduce cross-contamination risk during harvesting and deadheading sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use straight snips versus curved snips?

Straight snips are preferred for direct, flat cuts on stems and growth tips where you want the blade to enter the cutting zone straight-on. Curved snips are better for guiding the blade around stems and into angled positions within dense growth. Both share the same 1.75in blade length - choose based on your typical cutting geometry.

Are the blades resharpenable?

Yes - the tempered steel blades can be resharpened with a fine sharpening stone following the original blade bevel angle when the cutting edge dulls with extended use.

How do I clean these snips after use?

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

Can I use these for deadheading flowers?

Yes - the fine pointed tip and straight blade design make these snips well suited for deadheading spent flowers and trimming back growth tips with precise targeting of individual stems without disturbing nearby flowers or buds.
