Product Description
Don't let the beautiful appearance fool you. Powerful and extremely sharp, these multipurpose kitchen shears are designed for effortless cutting, essentially for poultry but also for vegetables, meat and fish. Forged from surgical stainless steel, the handcrafted contemporary design includes full metal construction. Each curved blade is a sleek extension of a brushed steel handle. The lower blade features grip-enhancing serrations and a powerful, bone-cracking notch, while the cutting blade is finished with an extremely sharp, precision cutting edge. Handy latch keeps shears closed for safe storage. Comes apart for easy cleaning.
Amazon.com Review
These ultrasharp shears are designed especially for cutting quickly and safely through poultry. Fully forged from an ultrahigh-carbon stainless metal alloy, the shears feature molded-on black molten polymer handles for a nonslip grip. Made from a unique alloy called Trizor steel, these shears have a higher carbon content than other kitchen knives and shears, giving them a higher tensile strength, which makes them stronger and more resilient. The ultrasharp blades come out of the box 2 to 3 times sharper than other scissors, and the edges last up to 10 times longer than those of other brands. Even so, the shears can be sharpened with conventional sharpeners. Molded-on handles are safe in the dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong

 Very happy! What a steal! March 29, 2007

These shears are a very close copy to the $110 Wusthoff 5512. I felt a little guilty for buying a product based on stolen ideas but, hey, it saved me 80 bucks! I ended up with practically the same as the German made Wusthoffs I was lusting for. The material (stainless steel), the shape, the weight, the functionality, every tiny detail are the same - the tolerances are perfect, so is the feel, the finish, precision and the quality of manufacture. I have seen a lot of junk made in China but when American supervision and quality control are in place it can be world class. This is obviously the case here. Chef's Choice did a great job - Thanks very much for caring!!!
These scissors are brilliantly engineered to deliver optimal leverage in tight spaces. The beak shape and serration of the blades keep the bones/meat in place.
The parts come apart easy for cleaning, perhaps too easily for newbies. You have to remain aware that the parts come apart when you allow the spring to spread the halves too wide. This may be something to get used to for the average consumer. But it's a skill easily learned! With a little more practice you'll be able to re-assemble the two parts in a second or two. The spring is permanently attached to one half, so it won't get lost. There are only two parts - how hard can it be!
One thing I would change: I feel the spring locking mechanism should be on the very rear of the handles as on traditional poultry shears, where they would be away from the food and your fingers. The lock mechanism is awkward. The pin sticking out interferes with the streamlines of the shears. In actual use, so far, I haven't had any problems but I feel this should have been done different. Of course the same would be true for the Wusthoff version!

These scissors are very mediocre. I used them once. They are heavy and difficult to use, especially for women whose hands are not as strong. I got pretty tired half-way through cutting a cornish hen. They cut okay, but it was a lot of work.
I took them apart and washed them, and then the springs won't let me put them back together. The scissors won't close, so I can't put it back in the original box to store.
I'm currently looking for a new pair of poultry scissors...
