I also appreciate that they come with a nice plastic safety cover for storage, which is a thoughtful touch.The shears feel sturdy and well-made, and they've worked perfectly for any household project I've needed them for – from opening packages to snipping herbs. I even caught my daughter using them to cut some cardboard boxes in half (not exactly their intended purpose, but they certainly did the job!). If you're looking for a reliable and sharp pair of kitchen shears that can handle more than just kitchen tasks, these are a great choice.

I typically read numerous reviews to decide what to buy when looking for this kind of item. Generally I seek what is regarded as the best by customer reviews as well as by specialty evaluators.This one was a difficult item because the range of prices between the best and the less highly rated is astounding. Particularly when you see how they all look. They practically look the same. I would say there is no way on earth it makes sense to pay five times the cost of these to buy scissors that in photos can barely be distinguished from these.Among scissors that price wise are closer to earth these looked good to me so with some hesitation I forwent going for the stratosphere and bought these. It turns out I'm more puzzled than ever because these scissors for kitchen duty are terrific! Precision fit, sharp, comfortable - nothing else you could ask for.It is xmas time. A lot of people have present giving games where people take turns using a lottery system to blindly pick a present from a stack of presents everyone contributes to. These scissors are a perfect choice for what your contribution could be. Not overly expensive but a high quality item that almost everybody will value in their kitchen.

The KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears have quickly become a staple in my everyday kitchen tasks. These shears combine durability, precision, and convenience, making them a must-have for any home cook.Right out of the box, the quality is evident. The stainless steel blades are sharp and sturdy, perfect for cutting through a variety of ingredients from herbs to poultry.

The blades are easy to clean, and they remain sharp even after repeated use.Overall, the KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath are a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance their kitchen tool arsenal. Their combination of quality, versatility, and safety makes them a perfect addition to any kitchen. Highly recommended!

I'm glad I purchased this one. Typical scissor design with a good quality. I stick in the dishwasher if I use it on meat or something gross. Nice grip and sharpness. Cuts really well. If I ever needed an additional pair I would purchase the same one!

Easy to use, Sharpe and good grip. I love the store away piece it comes with.

I got sick of having kitchen scissors that were worthless. I did a bit of research and ordered 2 different pairs simultaneously. The Titan Elite Industrial Grade Heavy Duty Scissor (Amazon ASIN: B0046EBW1C, Item model number: D50004) for $12.89 and the Kitchenaid Classic Shears With Soft Grip. They both were received from Amazon in the same package. I have fairly large hands. I don't eat meat all that often - for my purposes, I would put these to use doing things like cutting thick flower stems (example: gladiolas, sunflowers, etc), opening other packages, cutting carpet, cardboard, zip ties, etc.Initial impressions:The Titan Elite is the heavier duty of the two and - for those who might care - it's precise enough when cutting that it cuts paper and thin plastic without making that "nib" or break at the end of the cut - a totally clean cut. As far as cutting motion, it's a bit "sticky". I would think if you are going to cut meat bones on a regular basis, I would give the Titan the nod for long term durability but you won't see the difference unless you are in a constant heavy use situation. For carpet, I might prefer the Titan over the Kitchen-Aid (below). The Titan Elites are not over packaged, you can get to them easily.VS.The KitchenAid Classic Shears (Amazon ASIN: B0050U240O , Item model number: KC351OHOBA). Fit my large hands better, immediately way more comfortable. No stickiness as far as blade action. Seemed a * bit * more nimble to steer the nose of it. These will probably be my first choice for all but the largest jobs. Also at $8.41 they cost 1/3 less than the Titan Elites.MY ONE MINOR RANT re the Kitchen Aid: They have the most diabolical over packaging (heavy duty, stamp-sealed/fused clear plastic, cardstock and zip ties). Usually I can blow this off but not in this case. I had to use the Titan Elites to open the Kitchen Aid package! ... and even then it was a fight. I wasted 5 minutes on that. Dear Kitchen Aid: Stop over packaging these scissors! You are not building a safe house or the Maginot line! - let people get to your product! RANT OVER.SUMMARY: They are both good and priced fairly. I lean to towards the Kitchen Aid but will keep and use both of them. From looking at them I estimate these to have 5 - 7 year durability for my purposes. That is fine with me._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________UPDATE: Jan 3rd, 2015 I liked the Kitchen Aid scissors SO much I purchased 2 more: 1 for by the washer/dryer in basement and 2nd one for other side of kitchen. I also purchased YET ANOTHER 2 for relatives as Christmas swag. They are that good. I find that they are my "go to" scissors, I use them all the time. They have replaced regular scissors for most tasks in our home. The nose/tip on them is very precise.

Fantastic. Very sturdy and cuts through most food materials with ease.
