Overview
Double-bend aquascaping scissors (also known as double-curved or S‑curved shears) feature precision-engineered, double-curved blades that are perfect for cutting ground cover and plants along the substrate level without disturbing surrounding flora.
Key Features
- Double-curved/S‑shape blades: Blades curve twice, allowing horizontal cutting of carpet plants at the substrate surface with minimal splash and no need to insert your hand deep into the tank .
- Surgical stainless steel: Made from high-grade stainless (e.g., 420/SS), corrosion-resistant, durable, and ideal for freshwater or marine environments .
- Long reach: Typically ~25 cm (10″), giving excellent reach into deeper tanks while keeping hands above water .
- Fine, precise tip: Slim blades make accurate cuts in tight spaces and among dense carpeting plants .
- Ergonomic handles: Comfortable finger loops designed for steady control during precision trimming .

- Ideal for carpets & foregrounds: Excels at trimming groundcover and low-lying plants where straight scissors struggle .
- Professional-grade precision: Used by aquascapers for meticulous plant maintenance and propagation .
Usage & Care
- Flush blades with tank water before first cut to remove residue.
- Cut horizontally along substrate with tip facing downward for neat results.
- Rinse and dry after use to prevent spotting or corrosion.
- Apply a drop of food-grade oil to the pivot occasionally for smooth operation.
