Know before you buy
Yes, both the kitchen and herb shears feature an ambidextrous design, ensuring they are comfortable and functional for both right- and left-handed users.
While the blades are made of durable 420J2 stainless steel, we recommend hand washing them to maintain the integrity of the edges. The blades do separate, which makes cleaning them by hand quick and easy.
The premium kitchen shears are designed for heavy-duty tasks like cutting poultry bones and opening packages, while the herb shears feature a finer 16-degree edge specifically engineered to slice delicate herbs without bruising them.
Because they are crafted from high-quality Japanese stainless steel, they hold an edge well. To keep them performing at their best, simply hand wash, dry thoroughly, and use them for their intended purposes, such as avoiding cutting through extremely hard materials like thick metal or frozen foods.
The kitchen shears include a notch for gripping and cutting through thin poultry bones or flower stems. The herb shears feature a built-in notch designed for stripping leaves off stems, which helps you prep ingredients more efficiently.
