Know before you buy
The blades can be fully separated by opening them to a specific angle, allowing you to clean the pivot point thoroughly. This prevents food particles or moisture from getting trapped in the hinge, which is a common issue with standard shears.
No, these shears are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the sharpness of the stainless steel blades and the integrity of the hinge, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately after use.
Yes, their durable stainless steel construction is designed to handle tasks like breaking down poultry. However, they are best suited for smaller joints and cartilage rather than thick, dense bones.
Yes, the shears feature an ambidextrous design. The handle shape is symmetrical, ensuring that both left-handed and right-handed users can maintain a comfortable, secure grip.
The bottle opener is built into the handle area, allowing you to easily pop off crown caps on glass bottles. It is a convenient addition that saves you from needing a separate tool while you are prepping in the kitchen.
