Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears

Whether you are just slicing through the bone of a chicken or opening up dry ingredients, a good pair of kitchen shears is necessary for any kitchen. Many budget-conscious home chefs will use just a pair of normal scissors, but they are not as strong as most kitchen shears, which can mean they are not nearly as effective and in some circumstances even dangerous. If you are in that situation, perhaps you might want to try the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears, which are built very well as would be expected from the Wüsthof brand.

Wüsthof is a brand well known for its cutlery having been around since at least 1814. This German cutlery company remains owned to this day by the Wüsthof family and all manufacturing continues to be done in Germany. As implied by its name, the blades on the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears do come apart for an easy and thorough cleaning process. Like knives, it is recommended that these kitchen shears be hand-washed in hot water rather than to be put in a dishwasher. These Wüsthof shears are also of an ambidextrous design while built into the handle are steel-teeth insets that can be used to open a bottle or jar. The Wüsthof blades are made of high-carbon stainless steel.

Testing out the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears over the course of several weeks I found them to be well balanced (I am right handed) and to work exceptional whether I was cutting up pieces of bacon, opening a bag, or cutting thick pieces of meat. The jar opener that is integrated into the handle also worked quite well. When it came time to cleaning the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears, it was incredibly quick and easy to take apart the blades and then to reassemble them afterwards. These shears are also designed just so that they should not mistakenly come apart when in use.

The key highlights with the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears is the blades come apart for easy cleaning, there is an integrated bottle/jar opener, and the blades are made of high-quality stainless steel from Wüsthof, a brand known within the food industry for their top-notch cutlery. At approximately $20 USD (at Amazon.com), the Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears are well worth it considering their excellent quality and how often kitchen shears can be used.
