Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition Kitchen Scissors, Brown
These wood-handled professional-quality shears perform a wide variety of everyday kitchen tasks, from snipping herbs to cutting pizza to trimming fat from meat. A notch on the blade secures game or poultry bones, while the handle grips around hard-to-open bottles and jars. Add can opener and flat screwdriver extensions on the handle, and you have an all-around tool that’s an essential in any kitchen. Afterwards, the blades un-hinge for easy, thorough clean-up.Chicago Cutlery’s Walnut Tradition line of cutlery combines high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blades are made from high-carbon 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicago’s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Comfortable walnut handles offer the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; they’re securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results.--Mary Park
