Does anyone know where I can buy a set of grape scissors? I had too much fruit on my vine in the summer so want to trim the bunches of grapes this year.

someone said grape scissor I think they are shaped in a way as to get into the bunches easier to trim the tiny grapes off the bunch.

Lightweight snips like these do the job:

or from here:

These tools are known as harvesting snips, as far as I am aware.

Aren't grape scissors those weird things with one blunt edge that you see on old-fashioned dinner tables -my mums got a (useless) pair.

I'd have though a pair of those long, thin, hairdressing scissors would be good.
