Multi-purpose Kitchen Shears Scissors, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Scissors with Strong Straight Edge Snips (Silver)

These shears are the best! I tested them on plastic bags and a few rubbery things that normal scissors usually have a trouble cutting and compared it to another, much more expensive brand of shears that I recently bought from a culinary specialty store. These shears cut through it all without effort while the other pair did just okay at. The steel is similar to the steel in my good forged chefs knife which means that it'll likely hold its edge over time as long as they aren't abused.A couple of things to consider before buying. These shears are super SHARP! unlike some scissors that have one somewhat duller static blade, usually the upper blade, both blades on this pair are razor sharp. They can cut even when closed, if you slide your fingers or palm along the blade. Also, these shears do not have gripper grooves and/or a wavy blade that some shears use for grasping meat while snipping poultry and cutting through poultry bones. This may cause this pair to slip and cut something that you may not want to cut. Nonetheless, those who are misusing kitchen shears for cutting poultry should really look into a decent deboning knife and cleaver.

Great tool! Well made. A real bargain at this price. Well designed.

Be careful they are really sharp and have stayed very sharp!

Very sharp. Love them!

I prepare a lot of large meals. I routinly go through the poorly designed rubber handle shears in a few months. I have finally found all metal kitchen shears that are up to the task! However,they are not for the tiny hands. Fortunately, that's not an issue for me.

Still sharp and worked great until the spring broke. I found my spare spring after buying a second pair. Don't forget to save the spring where you can find it down the road. I use ours almost daily in the kitchen and the spring lasted 2.5 years.

I bought these because they have no plastic in them. They work well and are sharp. But my old kitchen aid scissors (25 years)with a broken handle are MUCH easier to work with. It's all about the length and leverage. I'm going to try super glue and fix them. These new ones are great for chives and herbs though.

These scissors were wonderful right out of the box. And ever since. Not to heavy, but a great feel in the hand. Sharp and comfortable moving through paper or plastic packaging. I'm very glad I spent the extra on this instrument.
