Shears Reviews

Wow! There are five different scissors for everyone who needs these. But I don't scissors, says one of friends. I tell him three reason to buy this Henckels International 5-Piece Scissors Set. 1.reason: - You have a very big paper ark, which have to divide many little pieces. Scissors saves your day! Use them and problem has forgotten!

2.reason: - Your fingertails are very long. Use a small scissors and your fingertails are comfortable short.

3. Your hair is very long and you don't have enough money for hairdresser' Don't worry! I can cut your hair but don't blame me if your new style is radical.

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!!

Was thrilled at the quality and cost of these five Henkel scissors. They from the start were a gift for my daughter and she is thrilled .. I now have put them on my birthday list ... want them for myself.

They are really pretty, but the handles curve the wrong way. I have large hands but I'm having a really hard time holding onto these against the spring so I'm returning them. (Plus I missed the part where they can't go into the dishwasher. Opps! (Not that I've put them there yet, but I read the care tag that came with them.)

If only this all-nickel model had a serrated edge...

My last pair of poultry shears bit the dust. While I could have returned them for their lifetime warranty, I was not too pleased with their performance. So I opted for the Henckels, knowing that they make very good cutlery. These shears are no exception--they are top quality.

These scissors really rip into poultry. They are all metal (so keep them oiled) and have no plastic parts to eventually break, like my last pair. They are so sharp and strong, I feel like Edward Scissorhands when cutting up a chicken.

Bought these shears, and was quite dissappointed.The spring rusted and after a few use, the lock (red knob) on the side came out.

The blades are durable but the overall handling is too cumbersome.

The price is also not too good.Many better choices are avilable at lower price ranges.

Hope this helps.

The first use wasn't too bad. It cut things well but the lock locks too easily, without something even touching it, so it had to be unlocked multiple times during use. Safety is nice,but that is just annoying.

The biggest problem is the coil/spring is NOT stainless-steel so the inside of it rusts, even if you take it apart for each washing. Once it gets rusty it becomes very very difficult toclose the shears, making cutting a real pain, literally. I soak the spring regularly in rust remover but I can not use it no more than a single piece now without horrible aches in my hand.

My prior shears lasted for 10 years, but these I need to replace after a couple of months...

Anyone with any rust issues should contact Henckels from their website and get a replacement. The blades are guaranteed to be rust free. Don't mention the rusty spring issue or they'll only send a replacement spring.

I'm on my second pair of these shears. The first pair was inherited when I got married, the second was a gift to replace the first (due to the plastic catch falling out and the blades rusting).

In less than one year, the second pair is almost unusable. The coil that is supposed to spring them back into the open position has lost its bounce due to rust inside the coil. The safety catch works too well - it catches automatically almost every time I close the shears. This is extremely annoying when clipping through a chicken breast. I have to stop on every other cut to re-open the shears. Finally, the shears cannot be separated for full cleaning.

NOTE that this model has a different catch mechanism, but the coil does look the same.

After only six (6) cuts (chicken thighs) ... the steel blade had a 1/8 inch nick(not a chip)in it. Definitely not the best quality steel.
