## Description

Product Description Wusthof come-a-part kitchen shears. These Wusthof come-a-part kitchen shears are good for snipping flowers, strings, cloth or herbs. The come-a-part mechanism lets you clean these scissors easily and quickly. It also prevents bacteria or rust from developing between the two halves.

They're balanced in the hand and work equally well for right-handers and left-handers. Blades formed from high-carbon stainless steel curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth and exact. One blade's serrations prevent slippage. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades can be lifted so the shears can be taken apart for resharpening. Steel-tooth insets in the rugged synthetic handles twist open bottle and jar caps. The shears are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing better protects the blade edges. --Fred Brack

*by J***E on February 19, 2011*

I wish I had bought these sooner. I have had cheap kitchen shears that came with a knife set when I was young and broke. As the knives have worn out, I have replaced them with quality knives...but I never replaced the plastic handled kitchen shears. Just to have a "nice, complete set" and to get that ugly plastic thing out of my drawer, I ordered this set of shears. It is amazing. I didn't realize how easy I could cut items with "minimal" effort on my part. I am used to putting a lot of hand squeezing into the other shears to get them to cut cardboard, etc...but these cut tough things like they were butter. My hands are very weak, so they are especially helpful to me. If you have arthritis or weak hands, consider getting some quality shears like these. They do most of the work for you. I also used to put my other shears in the dishwasher, with the blades open, to try and get them clean...but with the pull apart design, I know that there will be no chicken germs hiding in a crack. The taking apart and putting back together of the shears is very simple. I would have expected to pay $50-$60 for these, so they are really worth the price they are sold for in my opinion. It's possible there are better ones out there, but I do know that these are good, they do what you need, and they won't make you go broke. Update (January 2012) My shears are stiff and not working well. There is a place on the blade that is wrong and the cut is hanging up on it. We are doing a major home remodel and there has been a lot of "construction work" (i.e. cutting wires, etc) and so I think it is a result of misuse, but no one is fessing up to using them on metal. Oh well, at the price they are, I'm buying a second pair and will put these in the tool chest. They work, but I have to push too hard to make them complete the cut...but it is not a fault of the scissors, but because they've been damaged.
