FAQs
Are these shears dishwasher safe?
While the stainless steel is durable, we strongly recommend hand washing and immediate drying to maintain the integrity of the sharp edges.
Can I use these for poultry?
Yes, the 3.8mm thick blades are designed specifically to handle tough tasks like cutting through poultry and thick vegetables.
How do I sharpen the blades?
Because of the micro-serrations, use a sharpening rod or a tool designed specifically for serrated edges to maintain the cutting performance.
Why do the blades come apart?
The detachable design allows for deep cleaning, ensuring that food particles do not get trapped in the pivot area where they can harbor bacteria.
What is the benefit of the nutcracker?
The integrated nutcracker in the grip allows you to crack nuts without needing an additional tool, keeping your workspace clutter-free.
Troubleshooting
Blades feel stiff when opening or closing
Check the pivot point for food debris or blockage. Separate the blades, clean the pivot area, and ensure it is dry.
Scissors are sliding off slippery food items
Ensure you are using the section of the blade with the micro-serrations, as these are specifically designed to grip slick surfaces.
Blades appear to have minor spots
This is likely water staining. Use a mild stainless steel cleaner and ensure the blades are dried thoroughly with a towel after every wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shears are detachable, there is no complicated setup required. To separate the blades for cleaning, open the scissors to the widest possible angle until they slide apart at the pivot point. After cleaning, realign the pivot and close them to reassemble. To ensure longevity, always hand wash these shears in warm soapy water immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the steel edge. Always dry the blades completely with a soft cloth before storing them in a block or drawer to prevent rust or corrosion.
