Wusthof's powerful 8-inch kitchen shears cut food, herbs, flowers, or cardboard. They're balanced in the hand and work equally well for right-handers and left-handers. Scissor blades curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth. To prevent slippage, one blade is serrated. Shears can be taken apart at the hinge for easy cleaning or resharpening. Includes steel-tooth insets in the handles to twist open bottle and jar caps.
