Amazon.com Review
Known primarily for their well-crafted knives, Henckels also makes scissors and employs the same high-quality standards in their construction. This set includes five different pairs of scissors that cover a variety of household uses: standard 8-1/2-inch bent scissors for cutting paper or fabric, 8-inch kitchen shears for poultry or herbs (this pair also features a screw-cap opener between the handles), a 6-inch straight trimmer for cutting hair or trimming beards, 6-inch flower shears for clipping rose stems or trimming house plants, and a pair of extra-sharp, pointed 4-inch embroidery scissors for sewing. Henckels uses the same high-carbon stainless steel for its scissor blades as for its knife blades to ensure durability and a longer-lasting sharp edge. The blades (except the flower shears) are held together with a screw that provides the perfect amount of tension and is removable so blades can be individually resharpened. Handles on all scissors are made of comfortable, nonslip, black polypropylene to reduce strain on hands. This set is fully guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Good value for the price
No, these aren't the most awesome scissors you'll ever use. The embroidery scissors I'd purchased at a high-end sewing store are much smoother than the ones here, and feel much more solid under my fingers. On the other hand, that single set of embroidery scissors cost as much as this entire package of five!

The price is very good for this set, which includes the scissors most households will use most often, under most circumstances. It's a good value with decent quality.

This is the last set of scissors you will ever need to buy
This is a set of five (5) scissors. They are sharp and cut cleanly. My favorite is the flower cutter which has a spring and a latch. All the rest of them are perfect for their design. Poultry is only one use. The bent shears are perfect for opening Amazon cartons. The other type is perfect for cutting burrs off a dog's paws. In my life, I've never had access to quality scissors. Amazon is charging a more than fair price for the set. You will never again get a bargain like this.

Finally a great scissor set!
I had problems finding a pair of scissors when I was near the kitchen because every set got dull and rusty in no time at all. So I bought this set and am very delighted to see scissors that I can use no matter what room of the house I'm in.

The quality stainless steel construction will keep them from rusting and the kichen shears are so versatile that they do an awesome job of clipping coupons or cutting through the joints of a chicken and still ready to clip more coupons and gristle. It's taken me years to find a pair of scissors to do that!

Besides that, there are flower cutting shears, embroidery scissors and several other useful scissors in this quaility set. If you ever find yourself looking for a sharp set of scissors, do yourself a favor and buy this set! You'll be very glad you did!!
