Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Insignia collection from Chicago Cutlery includes this pair of heavy-duty kitchen scissors. Like the knives in the collection, the scissors feature high-carbon stainless-steel blades that have been honed with the company's exclusive Taper Grind technology for optimum sharpness. Whether cutting through chicken wings or snipping articles out of the paper, the scissors will retain their sharpness and can be resharpened when necessary.

Symmetrical handles mean this pair of scissors can be used by left- or right-handed users, and the nonporous polymer coating adds comfort. Steel extensions on the end of the scissor handles function as a bottle opener and flathead screwdriver, while steel ridges between the two sides of the handles can be used to grip recalcitrant jar or bottle lids, or even to crack nuts in the shell. Dishwasher-safe, this true multipurpose tool makes a great gift. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars Performs As Expected...And More!, March 1, 2006

This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Insignia Kitchen Shears, Black (Kitchen)

I must say I was a bit skeptical about purchasing these Kitchen Shears...After all, they're definitely one of the cheaper if not cheapest pairs in terms of price that I've seen on Amazon. However, never fear! The scissors work like a charm. I've used them with chicken and other meats with no complaints. Recipe calls for chopped parsley? I get out the scissors and "snip, snip!" The scissors come apart at the hinge so you can stick them in the dishwasher separately and ensure they are fully clean and bacteria-free.

The other features (screwdriver, bottle opener, etc.) are not necessary but can come in handy. The jar opener is not that great if you need to open a large jar, but I didn't buy these scissors to open jars so I still say, five stars!

You Just Gotta Have A Pair OF These!!!

This is my second pair of these scissors. The first pair was never returned after lending them to friends. They were missed very much in our household. They are very sharp and are very versatile around the home. Also work great in the garden for trimming Hosta and roses.

The price is great too. Seen in outlet stores for $10.00.

This would be a great gift for all the women on your shopping list. Also would be great for the handyman.

Have never used the bottle opener or the other tool very much.

Kitchen shears are great- a lot of stuff you see Julia Child working with a big knife? Just use these scissors. Butcher whole chickens, cut up green onions, leeks, it's just easier. I can't cut a bell pepper into pretty strips to save my life, so out come the scissors. Wonderful.

I'm a huge fan of Chicago Cutlery; the quality is excellent and the price just astonishing for what you get.

These scissors come apart at the middle for cleaning and steeling; do NOT put them in the dishwasher.

I don't really understand the multi tool things on the handles and just use a bottle opener on bottles; but the quality/ price/ convenience of these scissors says Buy Them Now.
