HF used to give those scissors away in the good old days when they had "free stuff" promotional coupons. I think I have like 10 pair. They're great for cutting stuff that would ruin your nice scissors, like fiberglass soaking in uncured polyester or epoxy resin (hint - throw the damn things away when done).

I dunno, wouldn't be excited about cleaning chicken goo off these.

If you think you wouldn't be excited, just think about how the chicken would feel!nolaegghead said:I dunno, wouldn't be excited about cleaning chicken goo off these.

Same here. Almost the only thing I ever use it for is to spatchcock a chicken, but they have never disappointed me.1voyager said:I have the Wusthof 2-piece kitchen shears. It has synthetic handles but they are dishwasher safe. It cuts through chicken bones like butter for spatchcocking. Same for lobster tails. After 20 or so years, they are still like new and I have never sharpened them.Cincinnati, Ohio. Large BGE since 2011. Still learning. -
MediumRarely said:Many pairs of poultry shears over the years. Henkel's, OXO, Walmart, etc. The one you mentioned in your original post has been by far the best. Spatchcocks chickens like butta'. The Shun Premium does not have plastic handles, just coated to allow for a positive (and painless) grip. They don't slip even when a bit greasy. 90 degree twist to separate the SS blade/handle assemblies for easy cleaning. I like these, but frankly I am sure many peoples' favorites here will be fine.
I would stay away from spring loaded units with straight handles. Grip issues when wet/slippery. That's just me.I ordered the Shun 2 piece shears from amazon, they came with a set of herb scissors. This should clean up my scissor drawer. thanks.On a side note, I had a good size chip in my shun chefs knife. I thought, well I will mail it back and get a factory edge, plus they can fix the chip. A month later I get it back, the chip was gone but it was not very sharp, I had a ripe tomato rolling around on the cutting board. I tried a sawing motion. Finally I had to stab it with the tip to get slicing. Disappointing but I will get it sharp.South of Columbus, Ohio. -
I had a knife blade that had cracked on me. It wasn't an expensive knife, but I liked it for certain tasks, so I wanted to save it. I worked that crack out on my WorkSharp E5 belt sharpener. I am glad I spent the time as that knife has never been so sharp and seems to hold an edge better now than when it was new. That's probably my imagination, but I assume I finally have the geometry correct from all of the work to get the crack out.alaskanassasin said:MediumRarely said:Many pairs of poultry shears over the years.

I hope you can get your knife just as sharp!Clinton, Iowa -
We have a set of OXO shears. They're super functional with large comfortable grips and they stay sharp. They also come apart for cleaning too.
