Equipped with strong serrated stainless-steel blades, these all-purpose shears can cut apart a whole chicken or fish, snip woody-stemmed herbs, or open packaging. Handles are coated with soft, textured plastic for comfort and a secure hold, and are designed to be used either right- or left-handed. A bone notch in one blade accommodates poultry without damaging the shears.
The shears also incorporate several additional tools into their construction for assisting with a variety of other kitchen tasks. A hook cut out just below one of the handles serves as a bottle opener while two metal prongs at the ends of the handles work as both flat screwdrivers and lid lifters. Situated between the two handles are a plastic-coated nutcracker and two rows of jagged metal teeth that operate as a jar opener. For easier cleaning, the two blades on these shears come apart; however the hinge is rather loose and the blades do sometimes separate unexpectedly when opened to their widest position. These shears come within a plastic storage sheath that is magnetized for mounting on the side of a refrigerator. This item is covered by a limited, lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
