These LOOK great, but WORK poorly. The hinge point is not strong enough to keep the blades together even to cut cardboard. Then, after two weeks of light use (simply because they don't work for any real duty), the handle broke off. Ugh. Waste.This is the second pair for my mother. She loved her first pair, so when the spring metal broke, she wanted another pair. The first pair lasted about two years.These are some heavy duty kitchen shears! There is a spring that helps as you cut so your hand doesn't get fatigued. I used this to cut chicken breasts into pieces and was amazed at how much more quickly I could do it with these shears instead of with a knife and cutting board, and it was a lot less mess too! The shears also have a locking mechanism, so you can safely store them. Plus, they were really easy to clean up! I'm going to be finding tons of ways to be able to use these shears everyday!I bought these shears a few months ago to replace my old Zyliss shears that broke. Today my husband broke them when he attempted to trim the stems of the roses he bought me. I wasn't sure of these shears when they arrived. They came apart easily and they are very different from the first generation of Zyliss shears. The plastic piece that holds the shears together broke which is what happened with my old pair. At least with the old pair, I got a few years of use out of the shears. I am not going to buy another pair.The Zyliss Gourmet Shears work perfectly for me because the spring loaded handle gives me a lot of cutting power with little effort. Cutting a chicken use to be a nightmare but now I do it with minimal effort. I like these shears because they are stainless and come apart for ease of cleaning. Plus, the lock on the handle keeps the shears securing closed for safe and easy storage. Easy to use...easy to clean...easy to store.
