Fiskars

Fiskars scissors, garden tools and cooking utensils serve gardeners, cooks and crafters doing practical work at home. Left-handed scissors and adjustable gardening tools give you choices that suit how you work, from cutting fabric to positioning a pruning tool.

Fiskars is a Finnish tool brand founded in Fiskars Village in 1649. It belongs to Fiskars Group, whose ultimate parent company is Fiskars Oyj Abp. The brand is known for its orange-handled scissors.

Garden tools for the cuts you make

Start with the cuts you actually make. Hand pruners suit close work on individual stems, loppers provide more leverage, and hedge shears shape a run of growth. Fiskars DualAction gardening tools switch between speed mode for quick, precise stem cuts and power mode for tough, large branches.

Fiskars offers telescopic and adjustable gardening tools for work where positioning matters. Work from firm footing with a clear view of the cut and room for the branch to fall.

For digging, Fiskars tools include shovels and hand trowels.

Wood cutting and scissors

Fiskars promotes Ultra Axes for its wood-cutting range. Match the tool to the job: splitting follows the grain, while chopping cuts across it. For firewood rounds, choose a splitting tool and work on a stable block with a clear swing.

Fiskars offers scissors for left-handed users. Choose scissors made for your cutting hand so the blade arrangement suits how you hold and watch the cut. Keep a dedicated pair for fabric; paper and household cutting wear the edge you need for clean cloth cuts.

The Fiskars Functional Form range includes a cooking spoon and silicone utensils.

Edges and upkeep

Clean sap from pruning blades before sharpening so you can see the edge. For a bypass cutting blade, follow the existing bevel with a suitable sharpening tool and keep the flat mating face flat. Take light strokes and remove only enough metal to restore the edge.

Fiskars Power Tools have a 3-year warranty, power-tool batteries have 2 years, and SnowXpert Snow Tools have 1 year. Products without listed exceptions or exclusions are covered for as long as the original purchaser or gift recipient owns them. Coverage concerns defects in materials and workmanship and requires purchase directly from the brand or an authorized reseller. Allow for routine upkeep: normal wear, sharpening damage, spare blades and replaceable attachments are excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you sharpen Fiskars pruning shears?

Clean your Fiskars pruning shears so you can see the blade’s existing bevel. On a bypass cutting blade, follow that angle with a suitable sharpening tool, taking light strokes and keeping the flat mating face flat. Sharpening damage is excluded from the warranty, so changing the edge angle or grinding away extra metal can leave you with a repair that isn’t covered.

How do you use a Fiskars tree pruner?

With a Fiskars tree pruner, position yourself clear of the branch’s fall and make sure you can see the cutting head. Check the tool’s instructions for its operating mechanism and secure any adjustable sections before cutting. Keep clear of overhead electrical lines; extra reach doesn’t make that work safe.

Where are Fiskars scissors made?

Fiskars established a scissors factory in the United States in 1977, but that doesn’t establish where your particular pair was made. Check the country-of-origin marking on the tool or packaging. A Finnish brand name isn’t a manufacturing location.

What are Fiskars scissors?

Fiskars scissors are the brand’s cutting tools best known for their orange handles, originally created in 1967. Left-handed versions are available, so handedness is a useful distinction when you’re choosing a pair. Handle color alone won’t tell you whether the scissors suit your cutting hand.
