J.A. Henckels International Take Apart Kitchen Shears

I've had these scissors for a few months now, and I still love them. They are easy to take apart for cleaning and are sharp enough for all of my kitchen tasks. The weight and feel are just right.

I didn't like these scissors at all. I also own the Wusthof kitchen scissors and have used them to cut chickens apart and for heavy kitchen cutting. The first time I used the Henkels to cut a chicken up, it bent the joint where you take the scissors apart. I assumed they were heavier duty. I would never buy them again, I'll stick with Wusthof.

Very good pair of kitchen or all purpose shears. It may rust if you put it in the dishwasher though (mine did a bit when I tried this).

After receiving these scissors I noticed that nowhere on the packaging did the words "Dishwasher Safe" appear. I replaced my previous pair because of rusting caused by washing in the dishwasher. Now I've come back to the site to check the comments about this. It is apparent that to avoid rust, I'll just have to bite the bullet and wash these by hand. Oh, well, there are worse fates!

They arrived sharp and are easy to clean, but ours rusted in the center on the first wash. I'm not sure how it can be reported to come apart during use as you have to open it all the way to separate it and my hands aren't big enough to open that far during use, unless you're using 2 hands, or your thumb loses it's grip. These are not the most comfortable for my hands, but that's partly due to the symmetrical design. Openings are just shy of 2.25" at the widest. I'd prefer 4 fingers to fit and slightly thicker contoured handles. The blades are adequately thick but will still flex with just hand pressure. These are a fair, if not good deal, for the price. However, I'm still left wondering whether I should just pony up for the Cutco shears like Mom's. Those are sheer butter.
