These powerful 8-inch kitchen shears cut food, flowers, paper, cardboard, even carpet. They're balanced in the hand and work equally well for right-handers and left-handers. Blades formed from high-carbon stainless steel curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth and exact. One blade's serrations prevent slippage. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades can be lifted so the shears can be taken apart for resharpening. Steel-tooth insets in the rugged synthetic handles twist open bottle and jar caps. The shears are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing better protects the blade edges. --Fred Brack

Kitchen Shears July 29, 2008
It doesn't get any better! These are fabulous and that you can pull them apart to resharpen makes it a bonus! Great kitchen shears!

How did I get along without them? July 26, 2008
Until I got my Wusthof Kitchen Shears I didn't realize just how many times I would be using them. They have quickly become indispensable. One of my favorite things about them is the easy way they come apart when you want to wash them, but don't accidentally come apart while in use. If this pair wears out or more likely is stolen by one of my sisters, I will definitely buy again.

Unhappy with same feature others love. July 21, 2008

I read a lot of reviews before I purchased these shears. The thing that was mentioned over and over again was how easy they came apart for cleaning. What they didn't say is the the shear come apart constantly when you're using them. For example: I was cutting an uncooked chicken apart and the shears opened (fell apart) 7 times. It was very aggravating. The plus size of the shears is that they ARE very sharp and should be easy to keep sharpened. I've opted to buy a different brand and style.

Great Shears July 17, 2008
These are the best shears I have ever used. They cut through pretty much everything and stay sharp long. Great feature is the separating of the two parts for cleaning.

Durable and easily cleaned- great heavy duty shears June 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I recently purchased these when my last set of poultry shears broke at the joint. These had a decently high rating and were available for the 4-for-3 deal so I grabbed a pair.

So far they've been great. The take-apart design makes them easier to clean and less likely to break as they have a way of failing safely built into them. They are also significantly sharper than any of the previous kitchen shears I've owned, which has included some much more expensive products.

These seem a little pricey at first, but they're high quality, easily cleaned, and tougher than the average scissors. If they're on sale and you need another item to add to get the 4-3 promotion they're definately worth it. They're still just shears though, so if your current ones work fine then it might be best to wait till those wear out to replace them. After all, it doesn't make sense to buy something simply because it lasts longer when what you have still works fine does it?
