Stalk cutter device and method of use

A stalk cutter device for obtaining a desired length of a plant stalk from a desired distance from the ground, said device comprising:

• an upper lopper comprising a pair of ergonomic handles and a pruning cutter at a terminal end of said handles;
• said handles of said upper lopper further comprising generally horizontal upper members;
• a lower lopper comprising a pair of ergonomic handles and a pruning cutter at a terminal end of said handles;
• said handles of said lower lopper comprising generally horizontal lower members;
• said handles of said upper lopper and said handles of said lower lopper connected together via upright handle portions to reduce the extent to which a user must bend over in order to obtain said desired length of said stalk;
• said upright handle portions comprising generally upright members respectively connected to said generally horizontal upper members of said upper lopper;
• said generally upright members of said upright handle portions respectively connected to handgrip portions;
• said handgrip portions being angled in relation to said generally horizontal upper members and said generally upright members;
• said handgrip portions of said upright handle portions respectively connected to generally vertical connection members;
• said generally vertical connection members, said generally upright members, or both of said upright handle portions extending above said generally horizontal members of said upper lopper;
• said generally vertical connection members further respectively connected to said generally horizontal lower members of said lower lopper;
• and
• a support rod mounted through a pivot point of said cutter of said upper lopper and a pivot point of said cutter of said lower lopper, said support rod extending downwardly from said cutter of said lower lopper said desired distance, said cutter of said upper lopper and said cutter of said lower lopper being axially aligned and coaxially spaced along said support rod, said cutter of said upper lopper and said cutter of said lower lopper configured in a spaced relation for obtaining said desired length of said stalk in a single motion, and said cutter of said upper lopper and said cutter of said lower lopper configured for retaining said stalk and preventing contamination of said stalk when obtaining said desired length of said stalk from said desired distance from the ground.
