Bought these to fill a need in my kitchen. My sharp tipped scissors didn't come apart and my utility scissors have a blunt tip that got in the way of projects. These scissors filled the bill. A nice sharp tip for slicing plastic veg & meat packaging and handles that separate for thorough cleaning after opening chicken or meats. The scissors are hefty and well made without being bulky. The handles are comfortable and the red coating makes them easy to find in the silverware drawer. A nice addition to my kitchen tool kit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharp and easy to clean!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
UPDATE: Downgrading my original review for two reasons. First, these scissors come apart way too easily... I have hardly ever used them without them separating when I don't want them to. Over time this feature has become quite irritating. Second, the metal handles under the black finger guards are not solid all the way around; there's a gap in the middle that you can't see in the picture. As a result if you are cutting something difficult (chicken being an excellent example) the finger guards will bow inward and you'll lose a lot of your cutting power. So, I still think they are good as kitchen scissors (and that's how they are advertised after all) but not as a miracle tool.

Original review, for reference:
I just bought my third pair of these which will be intended primarily for office use. But how can you go wrong when you get all this functionality for the price of a pair of regular scissors? My first pair was purchased because of a recommendation in Cook's Illustrated, then I bought a second pair for my daughter who is left handed. My son-in-law had a trip to the emergency room as a result of too aggressive hand washing... as the other reviewer said, these puppies are SHARP.

Only potential complaint is that they come apart sometimes when you don't really want them to. But that's ok... it's nice to be about to do a good scrubbing after the scissors have been used on chicken or other nasty bits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed!
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I purchased these shears right AFTER a long and tedious effort put in spatchcocking last Thanksgiving's turkey. Although the adage "necessity is the mother of invention" is tried and true in the 21st century it may be in some cases we can say "wow that was a real pain in the rear, wonder what Amazon has?". Checked it out and after consideration settled on these. This Sunday we decided to make a turkey breast for dinner and I figured what the hell let's spatchcock. Literally these shears sliced through the rib bones like paper, almost effortlessly. They also easily disassembled for running through the dishwasher (please ALWAYS put points of knives, forks, shears etc. facing DOWN, because if someone falls on those things pointing up they're going to be seriously injured). I'm gonna debone a smoked whitefish on Saturday, if I don't update this things went swimmingly (pun intended).

Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2016

We've been using these for a few months and they work great! They cut everything well (within reason) and even open an occasional beer! I'd say the bottle opener is a little awkward and having a screwdriver on each handle is a little strange but they don't really get in the way and that's not what scissors are for anyway!

These do come apart easily for cleaning which is VERY convenient and we don't have any issues with them doing so unintentionally, so highly recommended overall!
