These sturdy shears are all-purpose, from cutting through lobster shells with ease, and bone, though I haven't tried that yet, to raw vegetables. The heft feels good in the hand. I think they can handle any task that is required in the kitchen (and probably more).

I bought these shears last year and love them so much that I bought a set for both sisters and my mother-in-law. They are fantastic for butterflying a whole chicken. I've also used them to separate pork ribs and they are great!

Review 5 for Chef'sChoice Ultimate Kitchen Shears
These shears are extraordinarily well made and easier to clean than any others I have seen. They are very sturdy, sharp, and disassemble in seconds. Each half is machined from solid, surgical stainless-steel. The surfaces are polished to prevent any cracks or crevices for contamination. This is an important consideration when handling poultry. One downside to this construction is that the handles can get slippery so it is best to hold them in one hand and use the other to handle the bird. Otherwise...well you get the idea. Frankly this is a minor annoyance compared to the overall excellence of these shears.
A friend saw mine, tried them and was equally impressed. Guess what she is getting for Christmas. These are terrific.

The shears are made for someone with bigger hands than mine, as I can not comfortably hold them in the fully extended position. The spring is stiff, making squeezing hard, and the all metal construction means that when you get chicken grease on the handles, they become slippery. There was a learning curve in that they can only be held one way and are effective cutters on only the half of the blade from mid-way to the tip. They were not great at cutting through chicken joints.

These things are awesome. Cutting up poultry and trimming the excess fat from steaks has never been easier. A real time saver and SUPER sharp..

This is the first time I've seen this type of kitchen shears in the US. I bought a pair some 35 years ago in Italy and somehow misplaced them, so I've been searching. They are the sharpest, most versatile kitchen cutters I've ever used - they do the work and you just guide them (most US brands are just the opposite). They come apart easily for washing. Thanks for introducing them here!

To me, the weight, balance and construction are outstanding. Add to that the ease of cleaning and these shears are excellent. I can cut up chicken to grill, etc and it is so much easier than using a knife, especially when taking out the backbone. The best I have used to date.

Loose Spring issue
PostedSeptember 6, 2011
MonikaWescott
I've owned my kitchen shears for a couple of years. Good quality, they cut well, are easy to clean. The disadvantages are: You need a large man's hand to use it with only one hand and if the scissors open accidentally too much, the spring dislocates and gets bent when you squeeze the scissors back together without noticing the problem. Just recently, it happened to me a second time.

I compared these shears to others costing up to 3 times as much and this one seems to be every bit as good. I cannot comment on the durability since I have only had it for a couple of weeks but it has did every task I needed it to do. While heavy, the shape allows for a good balanced grip so it does not seem unwieldy.
The way it completely comes apart for cleaning is great. Overall I am very pleased.

I purchased these shears to cut through the tough undershell of lobsters in preparation for broiling. They withstand the pressure needed to do the cutting. Once finished, they are so easy to clean. You just disassemble, wash, dry and reassemble. The lock prevents cutting oneself and especially great to prevent little ones from getting hurt when they think to use Mommy's scissors found in a drawer.

Quest for perfect kitchen shears continues

I saw Jacques Pepin using these shears on one of his programs to cut up a chicken. It looked so effortless when he did it, I decided to buy the same ones.
Well, I think Jacques has stronger/bigger hands than I do. While these shears are really sharp, I have to struggle a bit to use them. I still use them, but my hunt for the perfect shears continues.

Great Find!! Poultry Bones Has Met Their Match!!!
PostedMarch 3, 2009
I used to have a very rough time trying to cut through poultry and its bones with a knife because of the many bones that had to be dealt with! This item definitely now makes it a real breeze!! No more fighting with chickens to butterfly them or cut them in half for broiling!
Ever been fighting with a chicken to cut it up for baking, stewing or frying? That has all been done away with and it's a thing of the past! And cleaning the shears has never been easier!
Washing them by hand is a cinch. And the entire shiny stainless steel body will NEVER rust. Ever!! As can happen with carbon steel or chrome-plated shears.

Since getting these powerful shears, I never had to struggle or fight with a chicken again! This is heaven!! You'll wonder how you ever got along without it!!

When Bad Handles Happen to Good Shears
PostedJune 2, 2008
These are great shears but the handles are slippery making them hard to use with wet hands. I don't use them as much as I'd like because of this.
