Review on 🔪 ZHEN 9-inch Heavy-Duty Multi-Purpose Utility Kitchen Shears - High Carbon Steel, 6-in-1 Scissor by Kip Ruach

I bought these over the summer after reading great reviews as I needed to replace kitchen shears I've had since college (ie at least 15 years old). At first they worked very well. Tough, striped pieces of meat were very easy to cut, as were tender green onions. But after 6 months of meticulous care (kitchen use only, hand wash only and dry after wash) I've found that they don't want to cut anything thin anymore. The thin foil around a chicken fillet takes 3-4 slices, and trying to cut through a flimsy plastic bag is a lot more annoying than it should be. My initial appreciation for their cutting ability turned to disappointment and I grabbed my old college scissors (which I'm sure were a lot cheaper). The handle took a little getting used to but they are a good weight and smooth cut but for the price I expected them to work well for all kitchen needs. I've tried contacting the company directly but it doesn't seem like they have a reliable warranty program.
