this knife is so much faster and easier than very good scissors used for many years.

Had the knife for a long time. Had two chickens and thought why not. Very much better way for me to cut the backbone.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I'm like you - every time I try to use scissors I wonder why I didn't just grab a good knife.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

If I didn't have poultry shears, I'd chose a chef knife over scissors.
I've never tried a clever though... wonder if that would work better or worse than a chef's knife.Phoenix -
How hard is that on the edge?They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

Little shun ken onion santoku there. I have the same knife and love it. Not made for cutting through bones but the ribs close to the spine should be ok

I use my Wusthof bread knife. Serrated works great.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

What no video clip of the ease of Spatch with the blade vs scissors? I believe it would work on small/young poultry but, may be more Michael Myers looking work on a larger bird such as a turkey etc.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

I use a hatchet to spatch a turkey. Never have any issues, but always scheduled before any adult beverages get into the game.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

@lousubcap & @HeavyG you're still talking about already dead, ready to cook poultry, right?

That knife is not made to break bones. You will chip up the edge. It's a decent knife don't abuse it.

I do the same with my Wusthof instead of shears......never liked having to clean shears.

I have 3 pairs of shears. I only like the way one of them cuts when doing a spatchcock. It goes through the chicken pretty well. I always seem to pull the wrong one out of the drawer to start with and then get frustrated and find the right one. Don't know why I even keep the other 2 shears in the drawer.
