摘要:
The invention relates to a tool for obliquely severing flower stems, comprising a housing (1) having a passage for inserting a flower stem to be severed and having a cutting blade (4) extending between opposing side walls (2) of said passage, the cutting edge (4a) of said cutting blade (4) being directed into the inserting direction obliquely towards the opposite passage wall (3). According to the invention the cutting blade (4) and the opposite passage wall portion (3) are mounted in such a way relative to each other, that said blade (4) and said wall portion (13) are at a minimum distance one relative to the other in the non-use condition but are permitted, when inserting a stem to be severed, to be pushed apart against a slight spring action.
