Product Description

Amazon.com Review
The ultimate in well-designed poultry shears, these balanced, powerful, 10-inch shears have curved, high-carbon, stainless-steel blades for cutting apart poultry. One blade is notched to cut through bones easily and serrated to prevent slippage. Handles are made of tough polypropylene and curved to fit the hand snugly so that maximum force can be exerted with minimal effort. For storage, the handles lock by simply pushing a red slide at the blades' base with the thumb. The sturdy barrel spring between the blades ensures the blades move precisely. The blades themselves curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth and exact. For resharpening, the blades can be taken apart. Though they would go safely through a dishwasher, fine shears like this should be hand washed to protect the blades' edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Very Good Poultry Shears August 28, 2007
Cook Judy (East Longmeadow, MA USA)
I've not had any of the troubles other reviewers have mentioned such as rust, locking up, etc. I wash them by hand, then dry them right after use. Since these shears are the first poultry shears I've ever used, I've nothing to compare them to. ButI find them to be powerful shears with a good spring action, a real aid to cutting up poultry.
 These shears don't cut it October 4, 2004
Buyer Beware

The first use wasn't too bad. It cut things well but the lock locks too easily, without something even touching it, so it had to be unlocked multiple times during use. Safety is nice,but that is just annoying.
The biggest problem is the coil/spring is NOT stainless-steel so the inside of it rusts, even if you take it apart for each washing. Once it gets rusty it becomes very very difficult toclose the shears, making cutting a real pain, literally. I soak the spring regularly in rust remover but I can not use it no more than a single piece now without horrible aches in my hand.
My prior shears lasted for 10 years, but these I need to replace after a couple of months...
I expected more from Henckels September 17, 2004

I gave these 2 stars because they worked nice for the first couple of months, even cut through chicken bones. But just like the other reviews, the spring rusted terribly and the spring tends to pop off too easily at the most inconvenient moment. I used these for making chicken soup alot, but noticed that it also doesn't always come clean between the blades and when using on chicken I like to be extra careful. So the next set I get I'll look for a set where the blades unhinge to make sure they come clean and not from Henckels this time.

Anyone with any rust issues should contact Henckels from their website and get a replacement. The blades are guaranteed to be rust free. Don't mention the rusty spring issue or they'll only send a replacement spring.
Dissappointing product from a reputed knife maker June 20, 2003
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Bought these shears, and was quite dissappointed.The spring rusted and after a few use, the lock (red knob) on the side came out.The blades are durable but the overall handling is too cumbersome. The price is also not too good.Many better choices are avilable at lower price ranges. Hope this helps.
