I bought these to replace a pair of Cabelas brand shears. Those shears did not come apart and the pivot nut kept coming lose, making it difficult to cut off the wings and feet of the birds we shoot.

Right away I was impressed with these shears. We just went through cleaning 41 pheasants last week, cutting off wings, legs & heads, then cutting out the backbone, and we had absolutely no problems. These shears made quick work of the job of cleaning the birds so we could get on with enjoying the rest of the evening. I highly recommend them.

These scissors are nice to have around when cutting up herbs, cutting string or any other cutting job. They come apart for easy cleaning and are sometimes a puzzle to put back together but that is just some of the fun.

These shears are a must in our kitchen anymore. We use on all meats - great on quail, pheasant and I can cut up a chicken however I want to grill - halves, quarters, piece by piece with very little effort. They come apart and can wash in dishwasher....would never be without a pair again.

I use these shears for cleaning squirrels. They are very much up to the task. Once you've got the hide pulled, they make quick work for cutting off the feet and head and then gutting the squirrels and doing any trimming if necessary. They're also good for cleaning small rabbits, but for larger ones you need a heavier duty set of shears. The take apart feature is great for quick cleanup. Very good product.

I feed my dog raw chicken, duck and turkey so I need a good pair of shears to cut them up. These Gerber's are the best I've found for cutting both the skin and the bone. The last pair I bought at
Cabela's but apparently they stopped carrying them. Too bad, I tried another brand that had "straight" handles but when your hands get wet from the meat you can't grip the shears. I highly recommend them.

Hard to find these anymore and now amazon carries them... excellent! Hand down these are the bast game shears ever. Cut extremely and last almost forever... basically you end up trying to cut thru a bone that too big. Tried many, many, many others. None come close.

I've been a paramedic for 15 years, and these are close to being almost a 'must have' for every paramedic. They cut extremely well, almost too well. I wish Gerber would listen to me, because with a few tweaks, every Paramedic, EMT, and Firefighter would own these. Unfortunately they are so sharp at the tips, that they always end up cutting through the nylon sheath. I've had at least 10 pairs of these, I only buy new ones when I lose the old ones. I've owned earlier pairs, which had a harder nylon case, but the belt loop was too weak, and broke. Both designs are flawed. The scissors should also come with blunt tips. These are great for cutting through just about anything. Unfortunately that also means skin, so be careful if cutting off someones clothes. (Hence the tips need to be blunt, not sharp points.) In this configuration, they also make a decent weapon, if needed. If Gerber would a)make a better nylon sheath, with stronger belt loop, and a blunt tip, these would be perfect. I still love them and will take them in their current configuration, because they are sharp, they have never lost an edge, and they cut through anything. Even Chicken bones. Great Scissors!

I bought these to do serious cutting. Never even got the chance because the tore up before I could cut anything substantial. These shears were difficult to align and the handle broke off on something kitchen scissors could cut. An absolute peice of trash.
