04-June-2020Product: Yoshihiro All Stainless Steel Pull-Apart Japanese Kitchen Shears/Scissors 7.5 Inch (190mm) - Made in Japan. ( Model 779 stamped on Shears)Review:These are excellent Kitchen Shears! Previously, I had had a WUSTHOFF set of Kitchen Shears.They were solid stainless steel that I gave up as they hurt hand to use.These shears were molded metal which leaves the end product with a rough surface unless they are ground the a smooth surface.The scissor portion of the were ground to produce a reasonable cutting edge.The hand grips however, were left un ground leaving the rough surface and a mold line inside the hand grip which extruded into the hand grip area.This mold line is what caused the pain when trimming bone-in chicken breasts when trimming the rib sections off.Also I have large hands and the handle openings cramped my fingers (separate issue from the pain they caused). Also it was not possible to separate the shears for proper cleaning.WUSTHOFF products manufactured in Germany are excellent, however these shears were made in CHINA.NOW: The new YOSHIRO kitchen shears are completely smooth, no mold rim, no pain.They are literally polished. The hand grips fit my large hands with ease.I have used these shears to trim bone-in chicken breasts for barbecuing. They cut through the rib bones like a hot knife through butter.They disassemble with ease (see photos).They are made in JAPAN. They were packaged in a box fit for displaying 😎. Inside the scissors were placed in a form fired foam insert. Not that these last two items affect the utility of the scissors m, but it does demonstrate the pride the company has in its product.They were roughly twice the price of replacement WUSTHOFF shears, which were identical to the pair I discarded after about a year of wincing every time I used them, and still made in CHINA.My Dad used to say “Buy Cheap, Buy Twice”.I would Absolutely recommend these Yoshihiro Shears.

Amazing shears. The metal is thick and very durable and seems solid and well-constructed so far. It was packaged very well on receipt and the box that it comes in makes it so giftable for anyone who enjoys the kitchen.Now onto the actual use of the product, they came sharp and ready to use out of the box. The cutting action is very smooth and very pleasant to use. Its first task was to break down a chicken and absolutely breezed through the bones and tendons with no fuss at all! Cleaning them was a cinch as they separate easily and the single piece of steel for each half makes sure that that there's no hidden nooks or crannies for gross stuff to be embedded. Although I'm sure they are dishwasher friendly, I would never put them in as thats the fastest way to ruin anything with a nice finish or dull an edge. These shears are such a pleasure to work with and the quality is outstanding. I enjoy my kitchen now more than ever, and I highly recommend these to anyone looking for upgrade their kitchen tools to the next level.

Befitting the purchase price, these beauties are gorgeous, sturdy, quality craftsmanship, comfortable to hold, easy to clean and extra sharp. I had to file the opening I had in my wood knife set block so these shears could fit in the space where my old Wustoff shears went but they're now in a permanent home in my knife set. I absolutely love these. They come apart nicely to sharpen and wash but won't come apart while using them. These are expensive compared to most others but they seem like they'll last a lifetime and if you already have expensive knives, why not complement them with a top of the line quality pair of kitchen shears? Spend the extra money. They're worth it.

If you don't mind the high price and you really want a quality kitchen scissors you can enjoy using, this is it. I bought this because after I do a little research on the "Yoshihiro" brand knives. All their knives are currently selling for at least many hundreds of dollars which I cannot afford. So, I bought this scissors just kind of want to know why are their knives so expansive. I am glad I did. After you hold their scissors in your hand, their look, their balance, the musical sound they made when you take them apart to wash them and they bump into each other, all tell you I am quality and luxurious, I am like no others. If you can afford them, buy one and see if you agree with me. By the way, these, because of their quality, will definitely last you for years and I enjoy and admire them every time I use them. To me, it definitely worth the price they charge.

Easy to clean, razor sharp, and built like a tank. Worlds above the typical kitchen scissors that everyone has, perfect for delicate herbs, leafy greens, even trimming fat. The handle could fit my hand a little better, but your mileage will likely vary

I just love these! They feel great and very stable in my hand. You can feel the quality. They cut like a dream and I love how they pop apart for cleaning. Since they are 100% stainless, there are no plastic bits for food to get caught up under or fall off the handles. The service is red carpet, too...friendly and helpful seller who emailed to be sure I was completely satisfied....and I am more than that :)
