ZWILLING J.A. Henckels TWIN L 2-pc Kitchen Shears & Paring Knife Set

Aun no lo uso pero la marca lo garantiza

At $14.99 for both the scissors and a paring knife, including super saver shipping, this is a screaming deal. I already own the Henckels scissors and paring knife in heavier versions, so why get these?The scissors are handy in my kitchen for opening my mail, cutting any paper or plastic packaging, and for doing my flower arrangements. They are somewhat smaller than my other pair, but they are every bit as sharp. The handles are almost as sturdy as well; another reviewer uses these for cutting up poultry, but I have my doubts about whether they are sturdy enough. My heavier scissors are available for that and other food processing.The paring knife is literally razor sharp and does my salads easily. I even used it to slice slits in a frozen pie top, effortlessly. However, the handle is extremely light, and I wouldn't try to use any leverage with this knife.The best part is that these products are guaranteed by Henckels, just like their other products. I recently mailed in my heavier scissors because one of the handles broke; this pair was over 25 years old. I paid the postage to Henckels, and they sent me a new pair free, including free return postage, no questions asked. You cannot beat that for customer service.August 8, 2009 update: Now that I have been extensively using the knife for a couple of months, it is still razor sharp. Notwithstanding the thinness of the blade, it is particularly good for taking cooked corn off the cob and for cutting off excess fat from thick bacon. I flat out love the scissors for kitchen tasks; they too are extremely sharp.January 21, 2013 update: Just wanted to say that these two items have held up perfectly. They are two indispensable items in my kitchen. I actually put the scissors in the dishwasher every month or so when used for food preparation, with no ill effects; it is terrific that they come apart for effective cleaning. The paring knife has proved excellent for removing fat off roasts and more fatty cuts of beef.May 28, 2014 update: I still use both the scissors and paring knife on a daily basis. I would not hesitate to give these as a gift to one of my grandchildren who are just starting out in his/her own apartment.

As always (2man) Henckels always rock! Every knife for the past 16 years in my kitchen has been and is a (2man) Henckels. I have always wanted a pair of their scissors and just never ended up getting one. This pair is the perfect kitchen scissor for those everyday kitchen tasks. These do not come a part, but that is nothing that a little hot water, windex and a towel can't take care of. I would not consider these scissors to be a deboning scissor, you would need Henckels heaver duty scissors for that. For what I do in the kitchen they are perfect and they fit right in my Henckels butcher block. I tend to baby my Henckels products so I choose not the open cardboard shipping packages with them, I have a pair of Scotch scissor hanging on my frig for those types of tasks. I want my Henckels to stay very sharp so I choose not to abuse them with cutting shipping card board. The paring knife was just a bonus and the same quality as my other everyday paring knives. I think this is an excellent buy!

I love this brand, having my knife set for over 20 years. The scissors are very ergonomic in the hand, sturdy, and very sharp. The paring knife has a very cheap handle (not like my original nor like the photo above as of 20Aug20) and I’m leery of its safety in use, so we’ll see. Price is good for just the scissors so it’s a bonus I guess (and the only reason this gets 4 vs 5 stars. )I only needed to replace my scissors and paring knife because my husband misused often the scissors in the garage and lost the paring knife (likely under something in the garage).

I purchased this item as Christmas gifts. A little early, I know. As I have purchased other Henckel items, I knew this would be a "bullet-proof", quality gift. I have already given some out as birthday gifts, and have received a lot of smiles. Need some good gift items (including yourself)? You won't go wrong. Oh, I did have a Henckels knife that was defective. All they asked was that the knife be returned so they could examine it to try and determine what the fault was. A new one was promptly mailed. I'll be looking for more great deals from Amazon and Henckles.
