For pruning I like Felco, but Corona has some nice light duty models too if you need a budget option that is better than Fiskars.

For kitchen tasks I prefer traditional Chinese scissors. I have had this set for a decade now, which they sadly don't carry anymore, but you can find these on Amazon and such as well or sometimes in import stores: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/kitchen/knives-and-cutlery/scissors-and-snips/10215-traditional-chinese-scissors?item=45K1010

I like corona, I just rehab'd a set of shears of theirs that I own but my beef is with their weird gel comfort grip. After enough time it just becomes gross and gooey. I had to wrap over those gel grips with paracord to avoid sliming my hand.

I really wish they had that microshear with the locking mechanism with the same grips as the ones with that stupid pleather loop thing! I have both sorts and vastly prefer the centrelock. I haven't had them go slimy on me but I am often wearing gloves and don't sweat a ton. I can see how they could though for sure.
