My most popular tool question is about the cutter I use for permanent stems- it’s the KNIPEX- 71-01-200 – a piano wire cutter- that has a titanium blade- and cuts through any wire like it’s butter.
The Knipex is also my most ‘stolen’ tool- it gets swiped frequently- so I have to keep track of it! This cutter will prevent you from damaging your wrists or tendons- and is a great asset when cutting permanent stems… you’ll never be sorry- if you get a Knipex for cutting your permanent flowers!
