These powerful 8-inch kitchen shears are Henckels' premier model. They're balanced in the hand for a comfortable grip and are large enough to accommodate even thick fingers. Blades curve inward so the cutting action is smooth and exact. A steel-tooth inset in the handle opens bottle and other screw caps. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades can be lifted so the shears may be taken apart for resharpening. Hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
Product Description
The steel quality has a major influence on the performance and durability of a pair of scissors. J.A. Henckels research has resulted in the development of the most suitable steel alloys which are produced exclusively for J.A. Henckels Scissors.

 You will get your money's worth. October 3, 2008

I am finally replacing a Henckels kitchen shears I purchased 12 years ago. Let's see if this one will last another 12 years. I use it for cutting chicken breast bones and fresh herbs, while my kids use it to cut their pizzas into smaller slices.

I couldn't believe the low price on this Henckels' kitchen shears. I have used Henckels knives for over 25 years and know that the prices are a bit high. But you pay for the quality of the brand name. These Henckels' shears needed to have the extra-large finger loops. They are easy to take apart and wash -- which is a great thing because of all the salmonella around.

So far I am impressed with how well they cut. They fit my big hands fine. I think you have to hand wash these, but I did that with my stainless shears, anyway.
Great all around scissors April 2, 2008

I just received this scissors, and I am so delighted with it. It cuts everything that I have to work with. I use it in the kitchen, for food, plants, or anything that needs cutting. I have no problem with it cutting the first time, without going over and over to get a slice to cut through (chicken)

Other than the Henckels warranty I can't really find any feature of these shears that make them suitable for use in the kitchen. Here's what I disliked: Handles are too short in relation to the blade length to generate enough leverage for tougher items. Inexpensive stamped-steel blades require frequent sharpening. Fixed screw doesn't allow blades to come apart for cleaning allowing food and germs to build up in the screw area. Micro-serrations too small to hold slipery items during cutting. Blades won't cut fully to the point for precision cutting / trimming of delicate items. Still haven't found better than my Wurstof 5550 scissors but was looking for something a little more comfortable on the hands.
