Know before you buy
No, these shears are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the spring mechanism, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.
The blades on the G-21 Poultry Shears are not designed to be separated. Because they are a fixed-blade construction, you should clean the pivot area carefully by hand to ensure no food debris remains.
The serrated edge is specifically engineered to grip slippery surfaces like poultry skin or fish, preventing the blades from sliding off during a cut. This provides extra control and stability, though it may leave a slightly textured edge on delicate herbs compared to a straight-edged blade.
The spring-loaded action is fixed to provide consistent, effortless cutting tension. It is designed to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, such as breaking down a whole chicken.
Yes, the G-21 features an ambidextrous design. The ergonomic stainless steel handles are shaped symmetrically, allowing them to be used comfortably with either hand.
Yes, the shears include a built-in safety lock that keeps the blades securely closed when not in use. This protects the edge from damage and keeps your fingers safe when reaching into a kitchen drawer.
