After only six (6) cuts (chicken thighs) ... the steel blade had a 1/8 inch nick(not a chip)in it. Definitely not the best quality steel.

I'm on my second pair of these shears. The first pair was inherited when I got married, the second was a gift to replace the first (due to the plastic catch falling out and the blades rusting).

In less than one year, the second pair is almost unusable. The coil that is supposed to spring them back into the open position has lost its bounce due to rust inside the coil. The safety catch works too well - it catches automatically almost every time I close the shears. This is extremely annoying when clipping through a chicken breast. I have to stop on every other cut to re-open the shears. Finally, the shears cannot be separated for full cleaning.

NOTE that this model has a different catch mechanism, but the coil does look the same.

I had bought a cheap poultry shears not good this one that I bought is great I am very pleased , Rose Fritz after a year the blades became dull and did not stand up to the name I will try and sharpen them so I am rating it again in 20006 so I am dissapointed
