Product Description

Amazon.com Review

From snipping herbs to cutting through tough chicken cartilage, these sharp kitchen shears perform numerous functions. There’s even a nutcracker between the contoured, comfort grip handles and a bottle opener on one of the blades. Made of high carbon, no-stain steel and handles that won’t absorb moisture, crack, or peel, these shears are covered by Calphalon’s lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good kitchen shears, February 22, 2005

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Kitchen Shears (Kitchen)

I used to sell cutlery and own a range of knives myself, so I have tried many cutlery products from many different brands. In 2003, I bought these Calphalon Contemporary shears since I did not own a pair of shears. Before I purchased these, I tried a pair of Henckels Twinshear kitchen shears, and felt that they were not as strong and sharp as I would have liked. I was a little worried about the quality of these shears since they were made in China rather than in Germany or Japan, even though newer brands such as Calphalon and Furi are now making far better cutlery than has ever before been made in China. After over a year of using these, I am quite impressed with them. The handles are very comfortable, and the blades are stronger and sharper than the aforementioned Henckels shears. Most impressively, the blades show very little wear, despite the fact I have certainly used them quite often. Also, the handles on these are far better compared to those on the Calphalon Traditional and Stainless shears. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a top-quality, reasonably priced set of kitchen shears.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but I don't see how to take them apart., June 4, 2007

The description of this item, as well as the packaging, says these shears can easily be taken apart for cleaning. They don't give any more details than that, and it isn't readily apparent how to take them apart.

2.0 out of 5 stars They don't wear well over time., March 16, 2011

I love the knife set that came with these shears, but these haven't worn well. I've had them for about 3 years and they have gotten very stiff and difficult to use. I have treated them carefully and usually hand wash them. Can't figure out how to take them apart to clean them more effectively. Would not get them again. I will be contacting the company.
