Felco 310 is my favorite, They aren't expensive and stay sharp. Picking forks for those prone to cut fingers.

A U-Pick here in Texas recommend Fiskars and we went to HomeDepot and bought the model below, I like them because the anvil part is slightly curved and helps us get to the stem. We used them alot this year helping a winery harvest.

I buy the same for my picking volunteers. Pruners work but I find the light ones are quicker to use.

Maybe because I am a klutz sometimes, but I would be afraid of cutting one of my finger off. Maybe not at the start but in after an hour or so of cutting grapes.

I also give each person a coated leather glove for that reason
