These are best


These will work too.


DO NOT USE YOUR KNIVES - If they are any good they will be ruined.

The only other option is this:

Call a man and let him do it for you.

I know this from experience. Knives - especially kitchen knives were not designed to cut metal of any kind.

Well, you probably will dent the edge of your knife if you try to use it to cut wire. I know because I have pulled the same trick. Really, the floral shears are much easier, and you can use them for lots of other things, too. I get a charge out of living on the edge myself, but hacking at one of those floral stems with a kitchen knife is not my idea of a good time.

Yes, there is a list. It's called food.

They are wire cutters, and yes you can cut anything LESS than or wire with them. They work just fine on trimming hedges, but you have to clean them with something other than water afterward. They will rust.

FYI - They are the best for shaping the top of the Christmas tree.
