Shears Reviews

Good kitchen shears. Well being honest... I don't know much about kitchen afares. I bought it for mother's day and my mom actually didn't please about my present. Don't give kitchenwares to mom by the way. They want something more gifty. Anyway, some months later, she said that she likes its usability and quallity. She said Henckels' are mostly very good and it is the case this time again, although she complained again the very fact that I got kitchen stuff for gift.

J.A. Henckels is known world wide for it's exceptional quality in knives and other kitchen products. And these shears are no exception. What really caught my attention were the colors. Where else could I find white shears?! I have two pair--white for foods, red for utility items.

These are well designed, durable (lifetime warranty), and feel comfortable in your hand even on the toughest jobs. I use them everyday--flower cuttings, crafts, cooking and even popping off a cap on a bottle of root beer with the nifty bottle top inset. Henckels thinks of everything!

I just may have to buy the black pair--hubby keeps gleeping mine for his workbench area.

After over 10 years of use, my Henckels shears look and function the same as the day I bought them. They have yet to need sharpening, and the semi-matte sheen of the handles is in pristine condition.

Two points to remember: Don't try to cut metal items with them, it will ruin their cutting edge, and dishwasher use is not recommended.

The blades are great for everything from plant stems to raw fish and chicken, and the tips of the blades are very sharp and will get into tight places. For instance, it's the perfect instrument for preparing artichokes, from neatly cutting the thorny tips, to getting inside to the fuzzy center.

Being left-handed, I appreciate its balance, and ambidexterousness, and I think no matter what your hand size, your fingers will fit comfortably.
A function I use a lot is the serrated inner grip for opening bottles and small jars...it does the job better than anything else I've used.

For garden, kitchen, or workplace, they will cut just about anything non-metallic, they're easy to clean, attractive to look at, and will serve you well for many years if used as intended.

Just to let you guys know, Cutco hires what they call "web solicitors" to hype up their products on sites like this. Also, Cutco is sold by Cutco salespeople only and these salespeople have an interest in bashing other knives on the net.
