Shun DM7300 Black Stainless Steel Kitchen Scissors with 3.5 Inch Blade – Multi-Purpose Shears Review

I have a few Shun knives and am very happy with them. I've been using old IKEA kitchen scissors to butcher chickens (i.e. cut out the backbones) and thought it was time to update them. I bought Shun shears thinking they would easily cut chicken bones. Wow what a disappointment. Totally useless for the chicken. I put these scissors in a drawer and haven't used them since. I should have returned but it's too late.

It tends to slice through thinner bones and tougher skin. This is very accurate when making sure your cooked cuts are firm. It works really well with the veg and fruit I've used it on, I would definitely recommend it, I'd recommend washing it after each use no matter what and also be sure to wipe it down and then…

Sorry I haven't bought this for a long time. I needed new kitchen shears and saw a recommendation for these from Cook's Illustrated. I didn't like the metal sticking out of the handles so put off buying them. But after using it for a few weeks now, I'm thrilled. They are well made and well designed. They also disassemble for cleaning, which is a must. But in use there is no risk of the scissors coming loose, as was sometimes the case with my old Wüsthof. The only downside is the price. It can…
