I like Zenport micro blades. They're similar to the Fiskars, but a little better configured for trimming.

I love my Fiskars, got me 2 pair. but check this out. them little nose hair trimmers are awesome for getting into the tight areas since the blades are so thin and small. they work with precision. if you can find the ones made by Bobbi Brown, you can find them on eBay, they work the best. but you can find them in the beauty supply area of any store, i find them at Wal-Mart sometimes.

That's true to a point. My first ever harvest consisted of a single plant, maybe 1oz dry/cured. I used some household and office scissors. All went well. My second harvest was a little bigger - 22 outdoor plants. Chopped for 3 days straight using the same scissors. My the end of the first day, the space between the knuckles on my thumb was visibly bruised. Second day, it was bleeding. I guess I'm trying to say that a lot depends on how much work is involved. Sure, anything will work; we're just cutting leaves. If it's a lot of leaves, best to get some spring-loaded scissors and save your hands, not to mention work much more efficiently.

I don't know the brand, but Home Depot has spring loaded scissors for $9.95. I bought a pair last year and I love it. I'm going to get a pair for my wife and brother the next time I am down there.

I can only say that if you use crappy shears, your hands will cramp. I should know, thats all I use. I gotta pull my head outa my ass and get a dedicated pair of scissors one day.

Fiskars was all there was for years. I still have about 100 pair. But now I buy Chikamasa. I told the first person who showed them to me they were stupid and I would never switch but Chikamasa has better blades. Sometimes with wet weed the stems get folded and fiskars get all loose after a while. Take it form an old dog, try a pair of chikamasa scissors. don't get rid of your fiskars but trust me and add these to your green tool belt. Click this LINk
