Abstract: Secateurs for picking fruit that have two arms assembled in a pivoting manner that move against each other around a pivoting axis and against the action of an elastic spring, each arm having a gripping area and a cutting area, and the cutting area of each one of the arms has a portion with an appreciably concave curved shape with a sharpened edge, so that in the situation of the maximum approach of one to the other of the two cutting areas, both appreciably concave curved portions form an open concave curved housing; and there being a difference in height of one sharpened edge against the other, in such a way that during the movement of both arms coming together in the cutting action, the sharpened edge of one of the arms is superimposed over the sharpened edge of the other arm.
