Kuhn Rikon Kitchen Shears Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My favorite thing about these shears is the spring action that makes cutting easier for me. The blades are very sharp and fit closely for a clean cut without too much effort. In addition to kitchen tasks, they do extremely well on paper and ribbon, even many thicknesses, and were heavily used during package wrapping season. I use them often in the kitchen and in the utility room, however when making holiday wreaths (cutting wire and small but tough branches) I prefer the Wusthoff come-apart shears (Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears) because it's easier to wash the sap off and if the blades get nicked, it's easier to sharpen them, plus they have the 'bone notch' that works well with branches. I got a nick in one of the blades of these shears and although they continue to cut fine, I don't feel the nick going away through the self-sharpening action. Maybe it just takes more time. Still, I can't complain about the sharpness of the blades.
I also like that the blade tips are narrow enough to get under a sealed box flap for opening shipped packages and they cut cardboard easily. They do well opening other packages too. Although I love the Wusthoff shears, the bone notch limits their ability to cut paper and cut open plastic packages as effectively as these shears do so I have both available.
There is a bottle opener at the bottom of the blade, but I've never used it, in part because I don't keep the shears in the case, but rather hang them by the hole in the handle. As a result holding them closed during the bottle opening exercise is a little awkward. I also found the herb stripping slots too sharp to strip the leaves without cutting the stem, but that's not a problem since fingers work pretty well for that task. While those extra functions don't add value, in my opinion, the sharp spring action scissors themselves are worth having to compliment whatever else you use as kitchen shears.
