KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath Durable Stainless Steel Scissors, Dishwasher Safe, Soft Grip Comfort Handle, 8.72 Inch, Black

This is a truly ergonomic set of kitchen shears. I have big hands and the shears I had before would painfully pinch me in the palm of my hand because the loops came together too far back- and this is true for many brands. KitchenAid very smartly had the closure happen further forward and made the loops bigger, so it is easier for big hands people (which is many of us men) to use them- but also made the loops nonslip and softer as well. The penalty they paid for this is to make the blades broader meaning that it takes more steel- but this also makes them sturdier and more durable. This is a far better design than even many shears which cost twice as much or more. The blades are plenty sharp as well, so you are not getting shortchanged in the performance area. KitchenAid wisely spent the extra money on extra steel to produce a product which works well and is safer to use. Using these shears have made me a fan of KitchenAid.

Sharpness (5/5): From the moment I first used them, I was blown away by how incredibly sharp these shears are. They glide through everything effortlessly – thick butcher's twine, stubborn food packaging, tough chicken bones, herbs, and even cardboard. The precision is fantastic, making quick work of tasks that used to require a knife and cutting board. They've held their edge remarkably well even after consistent use.Usefulness & Versatility (5/5): "All-purpose" truly means all-purpose with these. They've become one of the most frequently used tools in my kitchen. Beyond the usual food prep (trimming meat, snipping herbs, opening packages), I've found myself reaching for them for things like cutting parchment paper, opening mail, and even tackling small craft projects.Quality & Durability (5/5): The build quality is exactly what I've come to expect from KitchenAid. They feel substantial and well-made in the hand, with a comfortable grip that doesn't slip even when wet.Value (5/5): Considering the exceptional sharpness, impressive versatility, and robust quality, the value these shears offer is simply outstanding.In short, if you need a reliable, sharp, and durable pair of kitchen shears that can handle virtually anything you throw at them, the KitchenAid All-Purpose Shears are an absolute must-buy. You won't be disappointed!

I love these scissors so much, I bought a pair for work and a pair for home. These are very heavy duty and are a little bigger and weigh a bit more than I had expected, but that doesn't take away from their functionality. These are great scissors and cut many things with ease as if slicing through butter. They're easy to open and close and comfortable to handle. I like the rubber like sealant over the handles which make them virtually slip-free.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Picked these up so I could have my own kitchen scissors that were solely for cutting food, the cover was a bonus, I’ve had them for months now and they haven’t rusted and the cover keeps the tip that way and they cut well enough that in most cases I don’t need a knife to cut most vegetables.

Good quality but the handles can a little bit bigger. After some time the hands become paining.

These KitchenAid shears are sharp, sturdy, and incredibly comfortable to use. They glide through everything—from herbs to packaging to raw chicken—with zero effort. The soft grip handle feels great in my hand, even during long prep sessions.The protective sheath is a thoughtful bonus, keeping the blades safe (and my fingers too). I also love that they’re dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup a breeze.These are hands-down the best kitchen scissors I’ve owned. If you’re on the fence—just get them. You won’t regret it.

Great scissors! Though pricier than some they are super durable and show no wear after daily use over past several months...other scissors have rusted or look bad after a short time...these always look clean and sanitary which is important around food items. Highly recommend purchase!

My husband is the chef and he loves these for the kitchen, and it's great they come with a sheath! They are very sharp, and he uses them to cut fat off of chicken and I Love that!
