I hide these in a kitchen drawer so they don't disappear to other rooms because they're just *perfect* for the kitchen. They're lightweight but sturdy, fit my hand comfortably, don't get slippery, have small tips to fit into odd places, and nicely sharp edges. Moreover, the red color makes them easy to find on a counter. Moved all my other kitchen scissors on. You'll like these.

These little scissors are unbelievable...they cut a whole chicken and open plastic packages equally. This is the second pair I have owned...the only need for replacement was due to my significant other misplacing the first pair.

I used these scissors for cutting off the fins and tail of Tilapia(sp?), and these worked wonderfully on cutting through those needle-like bones! My last pair of cooking scissors broke while in the process of cutting! These are really great for any purpose! SHARP too!

I discovered these scissors several years ago and they are wonderful. They will go from cutting a chicken bone to cutting fine paper for a gift. I am buying more for my children and friends!

I got these scissors as a stocking stuffer. When I told Santa they turned out to be no good for me, she was taken aback - these were supposed to be great scissors, and good for lefties.
The scissors were good for a few uses, but in a short time the hinge loosened to the point that I can't cut anything with them left handed. Most "ambidextrous" scissors are regular right-handed scissors with no special design feature other than a tight hinge. When gripped right-handed, the hand naturally pushes the blades of the scissors together. When gripped left-handed, the blades get pushed apart. Obviously a loose hinge on supposedly ambidextrous scissors makes them no good for left handed people.
Even if I were right-handed and the loose hinge did not make the scissors useless (they do still work right-handed), I would still say that any pair of scissors with a loose hinge after only a couple weeks of normal kitchen use is simply junk. These scissors are expensive junk.

This is an excellent pair of scissors...I am using them for cutting up to 24 gauge sheet metals and wire up to 18 gauge, especially copper and these work perfectly!

This scissor is an average item, but nothing to rave about. Very short blade length, does not disassemble for cleaning. Good leverage, handle loops are too large for smaller hands. Sorry to state this product is over-priced compared to what is out there and to other better designed scissors I own and use.

I love my red Joyce Chen kitchen scissors, which is what prompted me to give them to my sister-in-law and brother for Christmas this year. They cut perfectly and are in daily use.

Sharp but high maintenance
I bought this pair of scissors primarily to cut food up into bite size pieces for my 10 month old. I've used this about 5 times per week for over a month. Read more

Used mine for 30 years and got another plus another for a wedding gift
This is my go-to knife for everything. With some knives you can end up in the hospital. This is perfect and comes w a sleeve. Mine stayed sharp for 30 years - never sharpened once. Read more

what I needed to cut thin sheet silver & copper
Love these little scissors. I can cut sheet silver I use in jewelry making without pinching my fingers as happens with my small tin snips.

These work for so many things. It's like having a scissors/knife in one. They also cut tiny pills as well as my pill cutter. I love them.
