Know before you buy
No, these shears are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the stainless steel and the precision of the blades, we recommend hand washing them with warm water and mild soap, then drying them immediately.
The blades can be separated by opening them fully, which allows you to clean the pivot point thoroughly. This feature is essential for removing food particles and bacteria that often get trapped in the hinge of standard kitchen shears.
Yes, the shears feature an ambidextrous design, meaning they are balanced and shaped to be used effectively by both left- and right-handed individuals.
Beyond cutting, these shears include a built-in bottle opener, a bone notch for snipping through poultry joints, and an herb stripper to easily remove leaves from woody stems.
The sawtoothed, serrated edge provides a secure grip on slippery items like poultry skin or fish, preventing the blades from sliding off while you cut.
