Shears Reviews

I'm kind of quirky - I have to get ALL the fat off of the chicken before I cook it. With a knife, my chicken usually looks "hacked up" when I'm done. With these shears, the fat is easily removed, and the chicken still looks beautiful! I highly recommend this timing saving product!

Used them for Thanksgiving. Great for carving our turkey. Easy to use. They don't slip in your hands. Good buy.

These Sabatier poultry shears have four great features (among others): (1) Made in France, by Sabatier, a 160-year-old house of cutlery design and manufacture; (2) Ergonomic--your hand doesn't get cramped from cutting up large amounts of poultry; (3) Hygienic--they go in the dishwasher, so any Salmonella or other bacteria are eliminated; and (4) Great Buy.

My J.A. Henckels's chrome-plated poultry shears are beautiful but so hard to sanitize because they cannot go in the dishwasher. Use these Sabatier poultry shears, along with a good quality boning knife, and you will never want to buy those expensive packages of cut-up chicken again.

As part of purchasing multiple Sabatier knife sets over the years I've come to own two pairs of these shares.

They are decent low end shears, mass produced in China. I am surprised these shears are getting such great reviews. I was AMAZED someone was using them to cut food, but I've since learned for delicate herbs such as fresh chives, this is actually recommended. Still, these are kitchen shears not poultry shears. I don't reach for these shears when food is involved.

I keep a pair in a kitchen drawer and use them for "light duty" jobs such as cutting off basil or thyme leaves. I can't imagine using these shears to open a bottle since mine have visibly bent from light duty.

Low end shears by Henkels International will last much longer AND many of their shears can be taken apart and sharpened.

These shears are made of the same medium quality steel Sabatier uses for their Chinese knife sets and this steel will rust if left wet of if food remains on the blade.

Of course, you should always hand wash and dry knives and kitchen shears but these will rust more easily than the high end German and French steel products (which cost much more of course).

You'd be better off with one of the higher end shears sold on Amazon. ...

I am very pleased with my Sabatier Kitchen Shears. It gives a whole new angle to cutting. Really. I use these shears on pizza, herbs, chicken, to make beef strips, just about everything. I seem to have a little more control with shears than I have with knives. It may just be my way of doing things but I think they are great.

My kitchen is loaded with gadgets but sometimes you just need something that gets right to the point (no pun intended).

A pair of these scissors came with a set of Sabatier knives that I ordered, and I liked them so much that I bought a second pair separately. They are easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. The high quality of the construction ensures that they will last for years, and I find the design to be ergonomically suited to the hand as well as pleasing to the eye.
