Frequently Asked Questions

The rounded tips on the ALPEN 300 blades are designed to prevent accidental puncturing or bruising of delicate fruit, vegetables, and flowers during careful harvest work. This makes the shears safer to use around ripe produce than a pointed-tip alternative.

Are these shears rust-resistant?

Yes. The blades are made from stainless steel, which naturally resists rust and corrosion, making them suitable for use in humid growing environments with minimal maintenance required.

What can I trim with the ALPEN 300 Rigi Shears?

These shears are well suited for trimming shoots, herbs, and flowers, and for careful harvesting of fruit and vegetables. The long, thin blades allow precise access in tight spaces.

How do I clean and maintain these shears?

The stainless steel blades are easy to maintain; a simple wipe-down after use is typically sufficient. Occasional oiling of the pivot point will keep the action smooth over time.
