Know before you buy
Yes, the 4mm thick high-carbon stainless steel blades feature an integrated bone notch specifically designed to grip and stabilize bones while you cut, providing the leverage needed for poultry prep.
No, these shears must be hand-washed only. While the titanium coating is stain-resistant, the high-carbon steel and internal spring mechanism are best maintained by washing and drying them by hand.
The push-button release allows you to quickly separate the two blades. This makes it easy to thoroughly clean the pivot area and ensure no food residue is trapped between the blades.
Absolutely. The internal torsion spring automatically opens the blades after each cut, which significantly reduces hand fatigue and strain when you are breaking down multiple birds.
The offset design improves your leverage and cutting angle, allowing you to apply more force with less effort while keeping your hand in a more natural, comfortable position.
These poultry shears are backed by a lifetime manufacturing warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use.
