Amazon.com Review: With curved blades for easy cutting and care, these versatile shears chop poultry with power, plus can be used to open testy packages, trim flowers, and snip herbs.
All Henckels blades are forged from high-carbon stainless steel for hygiene, balance, and permanence. As a result, they resist rusting, staining, and pitting while maintaining sharpness. To enhance the shears’ initial efficacy, a Friodur ice-hardening process is employed to render more resilient blades. A serrated and bone breaker design provide greater force and enduring efficiency. The upper handle is crafted in Santoprene for a comfortable grip. A lever safety lock keeps blades secure while in storage, and hands safe from cuts. The shears are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended. This essential kitchen tool measures 12-1/2 by 4 by 1-1/2 inches, and weighs one pound. Henckels covers this item with a lifetime warranty. --Jessica Reuling

I agree with kitchen junkie; the lock is a major design flaw. I've found it's nearly impossible to cut up as little as a quarter chicken without the shears locking up at least once. Plus, I'd read reviews (I thought they were here; apparently not) that complained about the internal spring (which my girlfriend found very fatiguing, btw) rusting out and breaking: well, mine rusted out and broke yesterday. As a result, the blades don't meet tightly any more, so the shears won't cut anything. I've only had them for four months and they're useless.

These shears are great! Super sharp, it cuts through bone like butter. At the
price it's a great buy.
Rating: - Henkles great quality!
I purchased this as an addition to my already huge Henkles and Wustoff knife collection. I have the shears and love them so I figured why not get the poultry ones since I usually use them to cut up chickens and such. They work great! I love the spring action!
Rating: - Quality Shears
These shears have no problem cutting through chicken bones. I have not had the problems other buyers have with the safety catch. I highly recommend these shears at this price range.
Rating: - Great cutting power, but blade lock is badly designed
I was thrilled when I first began to use this project - it's very sharp & very strong, crunching through small bones with ease. However, the safety lock is in a bad place - it's small & easily engaged, and on quite a few occasions now, the mere action of cutting - when the lock gets sideswiped by the chicken itself - will engage the lock, and then I have to manually open it up again. It's EXTREMELY irritating - I would call it a major design flaw. If it weren't for that lock, I'd reccomend these shears to anyone - but I'd hesitate to recommend them now. I will deal with them, and I'm ... Read More
