Rating: - Our Only Kitchen Shears
Unlike some folks, we just keep one pair of shears in the kitchen. We started with an ancient pair of Wiss sewing scissors which eventually got rusted and gunked up so bad that they wouldn't work anymore. Since we use shears in the kitchen for many different tasks (opening packages, snipping herbs, cutting up chicken), I was determined to find a pair that would be heavy-duty enough to cut through the tough stuff, be easy to clean, and hold a decent blade. A handy feature of this product not mentioned in any of the other reviews is a serrated bottle opener (kind of like pliers) located near the handles.
We've had these shears for a couple of years and they've met all of our criteria.

Rating: - Excellent Kitchen Shears
These Wüsthof Grand Prix Kitchen Shears are an excellent addition to one's collection of quality knives and kitchen tools. I keep these kitchen scissors handy by storing them in a Wüsthof oak wooden slant knife block that has a special slot for them. I use them almost every day for household tasks - from opening plastic bags and cardboard boxes to cutting cheesecloth for making bouquet garni or waxed-paper rounds for lining cake tins. The handles are ergonomic, so that your hand doesn't get cramped when using them, and hygenic, so that they can be kept sanitized, since they're made from one piece of specially-molded plastic, which is the same plastic as the handles of Wüsthof Grand Prix knives. I wash my kitchen shears by hand, dry them immediately, and place them back in the knife block, so they stay relatively sharp in between professional sharpenings. They are made in Germany from the same high-carbon, no-stain steel as the Wüsthof Classic and Grand Prix lines of knives. The only drawback that I've found with these kitchen shears is that they are slightly bulky to use, as compared to Joyce Chen kitchen scissors, which I use for snipping herbs from the garden. The Joyce Chen scissors never seem to need sharpening, and they hold a keener edge than these shears. Also, I don't use these Wüsthof kitchen shears for cutting up poultry; I prefer using my J. A. Henckels chrome-plated poultry shears for that task. All in all, these kitchen shears are a good kitchen tool that will last a long time, and they are safe for use by older children, too.
