These rugged 8-inch kitchen shears cut everything from chickens to flowers to cardboard to twine. Their blades are forged of high-carbon stainless steel so they take and hold sharp edges and won't rust, stain, or discolor. Blades curve inward so the cutting action is smooth and exact, and one blade is serrated to prevent slippage. Teeth between the black, synthetic handles twist off bottle caps, and wedges (one blunt, one pointed) at the handles' end pry off can tops. The handles "eyes" are large enough to accommodate thick fingers. For resharpening, the shears can be taken apart. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
