Know before you buy
Unlike standard scissors designed for general utility, these shears feature a specialized straight blade edge engineered specifically to slice through delicate herbs without bruising or crushing the leaves. This ensures your ingredients maintain their texture and aromatic oils.
They are best suited for soft, leafy herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil. While they are sharp and precise, they are designed for delicate preparation rather than heavy-duty pruning of thick, woody stems.
To keep the blades sharp and prevent corrosion, hand wash them with mild soap and dry them immediately after use. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the fine edge over time.
Yes, the shears weigh only 108 grams, making them lightweight and easy to maneuver. The ergonomic design is intended for precise, repetitive tasks, allowing for a comfortable grip during detailed food preparation.
