Product Description

Amazon.com Review

These heavy, powerful 9-inch poultry shears are Henckels' premier model. Forged high-carbon steel lies beneath their gleaming plate and provides strength. Their blades--one notched to fit around bones, the other serrated to prevent slippage--curve inward so cutting action is smooth and exact. An adjustable screw securing the blades allows them to be taken apart for resharpening. Wash and dry these by hand--the blades' inner surfaces are not stainless. --Fred Brack

Product Description

These gorgeous heirloom quality shears cut right through joints and poultry bones. One blade is notched to fit around bones and the other is serrated to prevent slipping. Their inward curve ensures smooth and accurate cutting action.

5.0 out of 5 stars I feel like Edward Scissorhands with these, November 21, 2001

My last pair of poultry shears bit the dust. While I could have returned them for their lifetime warranty, I was not too pleased with their performance. So I opted for the Henckels, knowing that they make very good cutlery. These shears are no exception--they are top quality.

These scissors really rip into poultry. They are all metal (so keep them oiled) and have no plastic parts to eventually break, like my last pair. They are so sharp and strong, I feel like Edward Scissorhands when cutting up a chicken.

I've tried my new shears and yes, they are super sharp and cut through anything.

The downside is that the handle design is such that when your hands are coated with poultry fat,(inevidible during the process - at least for me), the shears become very difficult to keep a grip on or keep in position.

I heeded the advise of Joe Blankenfield and spray the 'suckers' with a light coating of Pam spray immediately after washing and drying them, making sure that I get the spray inside the spring. They look like brand new - no spotting, etc. Thanks, Joe.<P(...)

3.0 out of 5 stars Henckels Nickel Poultry Shears Review, September 4, 2001

Great for doing what they were intended to do, cut poultry & most anything else you place in between the blades. However, OIL THESE SUCKERS! They are nickel plated but demand you keep them oiled IMMEDIATELY after washing them. They will spot on you ASAP if you give them the chance to. Super great shears if you don't mind the TLC they require.
