Zwilling J A Henckels Twinshear Kitchen

The original multi-purpose Kitchen Shears was developed and patented by J. A. Henckels in 1938. The basic style was only somewhat altered over the years until this altered version was introduced in 1996. Sleek and European in design, these shears have numerous uses in the kitchen: use them for cutting feed containers, seafood, poultry and string – it even has a screw-cap opener. Made of high-carbon steel with precision honed edges, the shears have 1/8″-thick micro-serrated blades that feature the company’s FRIODUR ice-hardened stainless steel that protest stains. The handle is made of high-quality, fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene. Dishwasher safe.

ReviewThese powerful 8-inch kitchen shears are Henckels’ premier model. They’re balanced in the hand for a comfortable grip and are big sufficient to accommodate even thick fingers. Blades curve inward so the cutting action is smooth and exact. A steel-tooth inset in the handle opens bottle and other screw caps. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades may be lifted so the shears may be taken detached for resharpening. Hand washing is recommended. –Fred Brack

an implement with many uses & a long life
By Alejandra Vernon
After over 10 years of use, my Henckels shears look and function the same as the day I bought them. They have yet to need sharpening, and the semi-matte sheen of the handles is in pristine condition.

Two points to remember: Don’t try to cut metal items with them, it will ruin their cutting edge, and dishwasher use is not recommended.

The blades are great for everything from plant stems to raw fish and chicken, and the tips of the blades are very sharp and will get into tight places. For instance, it’s the perfect instrument for preparing artichokes, from neatly cutting the thorny tips, to getting inside to the fuzzy center.

Being left-handed, I appreciate its balance, and ambidexterousness, and I think no matter what your hand size, your fingers will fit comfortably.
A function I use a lot is the serrated inner grip for opening bottles and small jars…it does the job better than anything else I’ve used.

For garden, kitchen, or workplace, they will cut just about anything non-metallic, they’re easy to clean, attractive to look at, and will serve you well for many years if used as intended.

The most usefull tool in my kitchen
By J. Hauer
I use these at least once a day. One of the more useful qualities of the scissors is that you can easily take them apart for a thorough cleaning and then reassemble them.

They’ve stood up well to two years of cutting apart chickens, trimming flowers, slicing boxes and all around opening of food packaging.

On top of that, I took them in for sharpening with our other househpold scissors and was told that the edge was fine on them and they didn’t really need to be worked on.

Another fine quality product from Henckels.

A Must Have In Anyone’s Kitchen
By A
I can’t function in the kitchen without these shears. A bargain at any price. I bought a knife block set at Target nine years ago and they were part of the set.

I will soon be replacing my original pair. Why? Not because they failed me. When used on only the types of items they are indicated for they will probably last forever and perform famously. However, ladies, don’t allow your husband to use them to cut speaker wire. I know from experience they will never be the same afterwards!
