Curved scissors are designed for contouring and angled cuts. Use curved blades when shaping rounded bushes of midground stem plants, trimming moss mounds, or cutting near substrate lines without digging the tips into aquasoil. Straight scissors are better suited for direct vertical cuts across open background stems. 2. Will the satin grey coating wear off over time? No. UNS tools use an inert, aquarium-safe protective finish engineered for aquatic environments. It will not leach into the water column or peel under normal aquascaping conditions. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool when cleaning to maintain the smooth finish. 3. Can I use these scissors to cut thick plant roots or hardscape wood? These scissors are fine-tuned for soft aquatic plant stems and foliage. For thick woody roots, heavy Anubias rhizomes, or hardscape materials, use dedicated hardscape cutters or heavy-duty shears to preserve the razor-sharp blade edge.
