Know before you buy
No, these shears are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and ensure the blades remain sharp, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately after use.
Yes, they are designed for versatility and feature an integrated bone notch to help you cut through small bones and prawn shells with ease. However, they are best suited for poultry prep rather than heavy-duty butchery of large, thick bones.
The shears feature wide, ergonomic handles designed to accommodate various hand sizes comfortably. The signature dimpled pattern provides a secure, slip-resistant grip, making them stable and comfortable even during extended food preparation tasks.
Yes, the design is fully ambidextrous. The symmetrical handle construction and straight-edge blades ensure they perform equally well whether you are left- or right-handed.
Because the shears are crafted from a single piece of high-quality steel, there are no crevices or joints where food particles or bacteria can hide. This seamless design makes them significantly easier to sanitize thoroughly compared to shears with plastic or riveted handles.
