I've been cracking Dungeness and King crab by hand for years. I always get little cuts and sore fingers but was too cheap to buy the right scissors. What was I thinking?! I bought four of these (so that when we have company over there are enough.) They are so easy and cut the cracking time by about 70%. You can cut right through the crab knuckles (the toughest part) and easily slice down the legs. You can get the meat out (even the knuckes) in one piece, fast. Do it. Get them and I promise you'll never be sorry. I haven't compared brands of sissors, but these are great. There is a little crab on the handle that makes them look more "crab specific" so your guests know you didn't just grab the kitchen scissors. And don't be cheap- buy at least four. Nobody likes passing around greasy scissors at a nice meal. Trust me, everyone wants their own pair at their place setting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best crab crackers for mid to large size crab, July 12, 2007

These might be a tad big for Maryland blue claw crabs but for dungeness crabs (about 6 1/2 inches across at the shell) they are perfect. You may still want a nut cracker for crushing and the nut pickers or some crab/seafood forks for picking out the meat, but for opening up the bigger pieces without mashing the meat or spraying crab juice all over the place you can't beat these.

You'll probably want a pair of these seafood scissors per 3 people as you can easily share them around the table.

They are also great for opening up the back of the larger shrimp to pull the "vein".

OMG! This worked PERFECTLY! I made King Crab Legs this weekend for the Vikings game and I bought some OXO pickers, 3 of these scissors and a couple of nice crackers. Well we ended up only using the scissors! I never once had to use the crackers or the pickers. Becuase you can cut all the way down to the tip of the leg, I mean the VERY tip, the meat kept coming out in large, in tact chunky pieces - PERFECT! You don't need anything else when cracking open crab legs. This is a MUST buy for any crab leg lover. I would even go as far as to bring them to a restaurant if I knew I was havings crab legs. I am actually mad I bought all the other seafood items - LOL! We are looking forward to having crab legs again, very soon, because of the ease of getting all that sweet meat out - YUM - in record time!
