Customer Reviews

All-Purpose Scissors
I bought these to match my steak knives. They are really good all-purpose scissors. I have used them a lot to open packages while cooking. Safer than using a knife. I have not tried to cut up chicken with them, yet.

Great shears, wish they were larger
Strong, dependable shears. Great for everyday kitchen use, from cutting thick vines of grapes to opening a bag. Blades are very sharp and easy to clean, and the handle is comfortable and strong.

I wish the blades were just a bit longer. However, most cuts for kitchen use are short anyway, and the shorter blades can withstand thicker materials requiring more strength. So, for kitchen use, these shears work very well. By design, shears that are great for kitchen use will not be good for cutting wrapping paper (just an example), and because I needed something that provided strength, I am happy with these shears.

Good scisssors but not a knife
I am a professional chef and have been looking for a sturdy pair of scissors. I have found them! I use these scissors on everything, and boy are they great. Plactic, carpets, thin metal straps. however I am a bit perplexed reading some of the other reviews saying that they are terrible for cutting through chicken bones. Um, use a knife, its safer and quicker, you also won't develop carpel tunnel or arthritis as quickly if you use a knife. I know i know, some infomercial shows scissors cutting up a chicken and then still perfectly cutting paper, use the right tools for the right job, and you won't be dissatisfied.
