A shears upper finger grip has a lower substantially flat inner surface arranged in a transverse plane substantially normal to a cutting plane and dimensioned and configured to enable substantially full insertion of a thumb metacarpal bone from a right lateral side and for receiving the ball of the thumb to enable the thumb to be moved to a position on a left lateral side to an orientation substantially parallel to the cutting plane and to position the hand's thenar eminence into abutment against the flat inner surface while positioning at least exterior right lateral portions of the upper finger grip in abutment against the palm beyond the hand's thenar crease and into the region of at least one of the hand's palmar creases to enable the thenar eminence and palm of the hand to oppose the forces applied by the fingers acting on the lower finger grip.

The invention relates to an ergonomically designed tool for the intensive cutting of flowers and fruit, configured such that it can be gripped with the whole hand. According to the invention, the handles occupy a position in which they are perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the cutting blades, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to the upper limbs.

Ergonomic snips have a pair of pivoted levers each having a forward end formed as a cutting blade and a rearward end forming a hand portion. A first handgrip on one hand portion includes a first anti-slip ear suitable for engaging a user's thumb. A second handgrip on the other hand portion includes a second anti-slip ear to form a finger receiving portion to accommodate one or both of the index and middle fingers of a user to allow a user to either place the second anti-slip ear between the user's index and middle fingers to maximize torque or place the second anti-slip ear between said middle and ring fingers to provide greater cutting control or precision. The distances between a user's thumb and the user's index and middle fingers remain substantially the same in both positions of the hand.

A hair cutting scissors/razor device, including a static blade member and a dynamic blade member, operatively arranged to pivot relative to one another, the static blade member having a blade portion, the blade portion having a tip at a first end and a handle portion at a second end, wherein the blade portion has a cutting edge and a back edge and the handle portion has a static neck portion and a static finger ring, the static blade member also having an aperture to accommodate a tension screw, the aperture located between the first end and the second end, and closer to the first end than the second end, the blade portion having a slot therein, the slot closed proximate the tip portion, the slot arranged parallel to the cutting edge of the static blade member, the slot arranged to extend leftwardly and rightwardly of the aperture.

A shears upper finger grip has a lower substantially flat operating surface arranged in a transverse plane substantially normal to a cutting plane and dimensioned and configured to enable substantially full insertion of a thumb metacarpal bone from a right lateral side and for receiving the ball of the thumb to enable the thumb to be moved to a position on a left lateral side to an orientation substantially parallel to the cutting plane and to position the hand’s thenar eminence into abutment against the flat operating surface while positioning at least exterior right lateral portions of the upper finger grip in abutment against the palm beyond the hand’s thenar crease and into the region of at least one of the hand’s palmar creases to enable the thenar eminence and palm of the hand to oppose the forces applied by the fingers acting on the lower finger grip.
