OXO Good Grips Spring-Loaded Poultry Shears, Black

I did an insane amount of research before I bought these poultry sheers and I am very happy with them.

Awesome quality. Works very well

It's sharp, looks durable

These are very good quality. The price is a little high for what they are, but they get the job done well. I used them to spatchcock my turkey this thanksgiving. It cut right through easily; making the job a lot easier than past times when I've used a butcher knife. They seem well made and unlikely to rust. The fact that they can be disassembled for easy cleaning is a plus - just be careful not to accidentally open them too far and have them fall apart - the first time I did that I thought they were broken... but they were fine and went right back together easily. Overall I recommend these and I'm buying a second set as a gift for a family member.

These are really good scissors for cutting tough things. The main target is chicken bones, but they do well on other stuff you might hesitate to tackle with ordinary scissors. Your fingers go through the hole in the lower handle and your palm grips the upper handle against a spring. This means that you don't need to use your thumb to make a cut and you can use the whole strength of your hand. The two halves come apart for cleaning, so you don't need to worry about grunge and corrosion hiding inside the joint. When you put them together they fit precisely, so no wobbles or gaps between the blades. The only downside is that the cutting edge is only at the forward end of the blades: if you open them wide to cut cardboard like you would with normal scissors nothing happens. This design makes sense for poultry bones, but you need to keep it in mind for other stuff. We had a pair of these for many years. Eventually the spring broke, so now we've bought another pair. The spring is the only reason I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness; its clearly the weakest point in the design. But don't let that put you off; these scissors will still give you years of good service.

I bought these poultry shears as a replacement with my Henckel shears that have been in use for over 10 years. I use them exclusively for cutting up whole fryer chickens for making cat food. I'd debated sticking with my previous brand but decided to give these a try based on reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The ergonomics are a little bit different from my old shears, so it took a few episodes for my hand muscles to get used to them, but now I love them. They cut cleanly through meat and thin bones/joints; and I love the fact that they can be taken apart to clean them rather than having a fixed spring that can get food embedded or rust. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone considering this product.
