These shears quickly became one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. They are very sharp, quite sturdy, comfortable in the hand, and come apart for cleaning. (I have never had them come apart while in use.) I hand wash them and have never had problems with rust.

They have not needed sharpening despite using them for several years. There is a plastic button but the actual connecting piece that takes the force and wear is a metal pin and neither is removable. The handles have a fine non-slip texture but are still easy to clean. The tips are not sharp like a knife tip but are very slightly rounded making them safe to use while holding something in your hand but still pointy enough to do delicate tasks.

You can use them to cut up chickens, trim fat from meat, chop herbs like cilantro and green onions, de-core lettuce and cabbage, trim artichokes, de-stem strawberries, open plastic bags neatly to make them easy to re-close, cut foil, milk jugs, string, parchment, and blocks of chocolate, make baskets out of orange peels, cut soybean thread. I have even used them to cut paper and cardboard on occasion. The hole in the middle is supposed to be for opening bottles but I use it to crack walnuts, pecans, and brazil nuts. The other day I used them to cut up frozen asparagus, much easier than using a knife on a cutting board.

I really don't have anything negative to say about these, they're good quality and a good value and definitely a "best buy" kitchen tool.

They also make a great gift for someone starting a household or for anyone who doesn't have a nice set of shears, twice I have used them for gifts and both times they thanked me several times over the next few months.

If you like the black ones better, here they are: Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears.

These shears are wonderfully useful and buying them supports an excellent cause. The seller shipped them quickly!
