What scissors do florists use?

See the full range in our Florist & Craft Scissors collection.
What's the difference between florist scissors and secateurs?
Florist scissors are designed for precision work, making them ideal for cutting fresh flowers, foliage, ribbon and delicate stems. Secateurs, on the other hand, are built for thicker stems, woody growth and pruning jobs where greater cutting power is required. Many florists keep both tools on hand to cover different applications. Browse the full Secateurs collection.
Can florist scissors cut woody stems?
Some heavy-duty professional florist scissors, such as the NFS PowerCut Florist range, can comfortably cut thicker stems. However, for woody branches or tougher pruning work, dedicated secateurs will provide better performance and help extend the life of your scissors.
How do I sharpen florist scissors?
To keep your scissors performing at their best, regularly clean the blades, remove sap and plant residue, and sharpen them using a suitable sharpening tool or professional sharpening service. Proper maintenance helps preserve clean cutting performance and prolongs the life of your cutting tools.
Which NFS scissors should I choose?
If you're looking for an everyday option, the Blue Economy Series offers great value for general florist and craft work. The Red Classic Series is ideal for regular professional use, while the Yellow & Black PowerCut Florist Series is designed for demanding commercial environments. For heavier pruning and outdoor work, the Green & Grey PowerCut Garden Series includes premium garden secateurs and professional pruning tools. Full breakdown: Which Scissors for Which Job?
