Our Favorite Floral Cutters We Use: A Must-Have for Florists and Serious Crafters
As owners of a busy flower business, we rely on tools that can handle constant, heavy use without failure. We have been using these multipurpose shears made by Clauss for many years, and we truly believe they are the best available. In fact, we get asked by students in every single class where they can buy them!
These have always been our favorite tool in the shop — Bunch Floral Cutters!Built for the Professional Shop
In a demanding environment like ours, we cut everything from delicate rose petals to floral wire and woody branches. These shears handle it all so well. The stainless steel blade stays sharp, and with a little maintenance, they can last a long time.
A Lifesaver for Your Hands
When you spend hours cutting, comfort is non-negotiable. This is where these shears truly stand out. They feature a spring-action design that quickly and gently opens the blade after every cut. This feature minimizes the hand strain and fatigue common with other tools. These are even great for smaller hands.
Even little hands work well with these bunch cutters!How to Maintain Floral Cutters
We like to clean ours after every light use or class by wiping them down completely with a Chlorox wipe (wearing gloves to protect our hands). When there is a lot of sap on the handles, we use a little alcohol or hand sanitizer, and that usually releases the evergreen or eucalyptus buildup. When we really need to clean the blades, we’ll use a little bit of steel wool. Sometimes we will also add a little WD-40 to the joints and also tighten or loosen the nut if needed after heavy use.
An easy way to extend the life of dull blades is to fold a sheet of aluminum foil five or six times, then cut through it with the shears. This doesn’t sharpen the blade but will remove debris from it.

Remember, it’s never a good idea to use paper scissors on stems as they can pinch the stem so it can’t drink the water from a vase. Buy a good sturdy pair of floral cutters and you’ll be much happier with the results!
