Kitchen Shears

All-purpose and poultry kitchen shears for herbs, pizza, chicken and packaging.

Kitchen shears perform cutting tasks that knives handle inefficiently: snipping herbs directly into a pan, cutting pizza into slices at the table, breaking down a raw chicken into parts and opening vacuum-sealed packaging. Poultry shears have a curved blade designed to cut through chicken bones and joints; all-purpose kitchen shears have straight blades for herb and food cutting. A kitchen shear that separates at the pivot screw can be fully washed in the dishwasher; shears that do not separate leave food residue in the pivot area. High-carbon stainless steel blades hold an edge longer than regular stainless. This section covers kitchen shears by blade type, pivot design, blade material and the specialized tasks each model handles.
