Specialty Knives 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.

If it were worth my time and effort I would return this knife. It won't cut anything straight. Must be a defect in some aspect of the design... to look at the knife it seems fine. No matter what you do... the knife curls to the left when you try to cut through something. I put it in my tool box for cutting cords, twine, etc.! Save your money.

This item was included as a free gift when I ordered a set of Sabatier knives.....I did not receive it....I am very happy with the knife set...but would like to have this item or a substitute as advertised....thank you....pam johnson

This knife is OK... for the price I won't complain. The wide teeth make it difficult to start cutting some types of food.

It is preposterous that they would even call this thing an oyster knife. This piece of garbage was literally destroyed after opening one raw oyster. I could see that was going to happen before I even tried it. It's just a flimsy thin piece of sheet metal. Anyone who has shucked raw oysters knows how much torque it takes and how rigid the blade needs to be. Apparently these guys don't know anything about that. Shame on "OXO/Good Grips" for calling this thing an oyster knife.

the first time this oyster knife was used it bent itself silly within 6 oysters, and it was in the hands of a 4 star chef who knew what they were doing.
dont waste your time and money...

I've used this knife for a couple of years now with GREAT success. I use it on little old Willapas and big ol' Pacifics. I probably only buy a few dozen oysters a year so this is not by any means a professional's point of view but I have yet to bend the blade which is a whole heckuva lot more than I can say about the other two knifes I used before buying this one. Here's why I think you will be happy with this knife: 1) Large, soft, comfortable handle fills the palm and gives Excellent leverage; 2) Short, stout stainless steel blade is non-threatening (nicely rounded end) and stays clean. I will give this knife only three stars because it is possible that the complaints below are valid because often objects that are 'Made In China' have quality deficiencies. Also, I have seen some OXO brand oyster shuckers in the supermarket recently that are made with a very thing, spring-like blade which is a definite No No and may explain why the reviews below are so negative. Only one specification should be used for such a product. The variance tells me that OXO needs to get its act together. I gotta say, though, my knife is a truly excellent tool that I'm sorry I didn't own sooner.

First,the space is so small,you only allow to chop one garlic; second,the blade isn't that sharp;the worse part is that it become rusty after washed.

..I'm DISABLED and I don't have any trouble using the Quick Chop. Actually I've been very happy with it. I was able to chop 2 bags of cranberries in less then 5 minutes, and yes, you do need to do small amounts at a time, but that should be obvious, it is NOT a big food processor! It works great on nutmeats, and everything else I've tried. I am so pleased with it that I am buying several for Christmas presents.

I love this handy little chopper - don't know how I lived without it! Works great with just about everything I've tried to chop. Just remember it's a small chopper and can't handle alot at one time but makes quick work of chopping in small quanities. Very easy clean up.
