I haven’t got to try them yet, but have heard nothing but great things about them! Worth checking out! Might wanna check out the reviews for them.
Now if you’re looking for something with a spring, some people use these also

Others will chime in!
Exactly the same ones I use. The chikamasa scissors are expensive but their ease of use is worth every cent. The fiskars is good if you want to get the stem deep in a bud. The spring action makes any of this type difficult to use for extended periods of time.

I use the fiskars non coated. I keep them in a glass with olive oil in it up to but not including the handles. I put them in it when finished without cleaning. Leave till next time needed
Take them from the glass wipe with a paper towel to get the resin off rinse with alcohol to get the oil off and they are good to go. This makes cleaning a snap and keeps them from rusting ir getting sticky in the hing. No matter what brand I used this would be how I took care of them. Oil dissolves oil. So easy. I keep 6 pair in oil at all times so i can change out threw the process of trimming.
Also if you need to clean a smoking device or any other resinous devise olive oil make cleaning a breeze. Just soak for bit wipe and rinse.

I really like my piranha snips the blade stays sharp but even tho they claim to be resin resistant they get gunked up and require cleaning after every harvest. They have a curved and straight ones

I got acinfinity trimmers with cleaning sponge kit20$
And thread snips for dry trimming 6$ for 12
Chikamasa hands down your best choice. The fiskars spring is to strong for trimming buds they are fine to take a few fan leafs . Good luck
