Diamond Cut Supreme 2pc Kitchen Shear Set

We kept losing our expensive kitchen shears when children would run off with them for various projects, so I decided to get this pair of expendable kitchen shears. They are more cheaply made than I expected but do work.The product picture showing the package with the red background is exactly what I got. The two shears are slightly different. The "poultry" shears have a little slot which we use for things like flower stems or green bean ends. I doubt they would cut through a chicken leg, but we haven't actually tried it. They might get through a joint between the bones though. Unfortunately, since the blades don't line up perfectly, the notch will often catch. I can only use the tips for cutting, such as last night opening a frozen spinach bag.The other "all-purpose" shears is the same but without the notch. Both are 8" long with 2.75" blades and have white hexagonal plastic covers on the rivet joint. There are notches along one blade but these are only for decoration; the cutting edges are straight, not serrated.There doesn't seem to be much if any quality control at "Diamond Cut Supreme". The blades on our poultry shears don't even touch as you close them until about half way down the blades. The all-purpose shears don't quite finish closing, leaving the tip slightly open. But both are sharp and can cut through plastic blister packs with ease.If you only need one the all-purpose shears are available alone:  Diamond Cut Multi-Purpose Kitchen Shears .These are (of course) made in China. There is a Dallas Texas address for warranty service listed on the package; you must include a check in "an amount equal to what you are paying to return the defective product." Obviously your cost would be more than what you are paying to buy these.These are OK for disposable purposes, but if you want nicer kitchen shears, try  Chicago Cutlery Centurion Shears . Ours were great until they ran off. I also bought  Betty Crocker Scissors / Kitchen Shears  from a dollar store, and even they are much more smooth and better made than these.

These worked beautifully while they lasted, but cannot be washed in the dishwasher. The pin holding the two blades together rusted and disintegrated after a short time of use--in maybe two months or so. They were every 1-2 days but used only on light jobs-- I used them to cut up boneless skinless chicken breasts while making homemade cat food. I put them in the dishwasher each time I used them, which must have caused the problem, I suppose. These cannot be washed in the dishwasher. I now use a meat grinder to make the cat food. Anyone know of some kitchen shears that can be washed in a dishwasher?

I enjoyed the diamond cut knife I had and therefore purchased these based on my experience with their knife. These are average quality products. I wanted to use this in the kitchen to cut meat and other vegetables. Not sharp and sturdy for that application. Will work for paper and other easier to cut items

Product was delivered in a few days. These are the sharpest scissors! Love the way they cut and you can't beat the price. My daughter ordered these after using mine once.

the only thing I dont like this that the shears are a bit short and the handles are not comfortable to hold. I do like that they dont come apart. I hate the meat scissors that come apart they always seem to break apart and go falling towards your foot.

I bought these as backup for the kitchen since our scissors always seem to disappear. I tried using them all last week on different items in the kitchen- bags, paper, produce, and it honestly could do the job at all.The only part of the scissors that actually cuts is the first 1/2 inch.Seriously- dollar store kids scissors would cut better than these.

Bought these to replace a similar one that died after years of abuse, brand initials c.c. Unfortunately these two have no edge at all, they seem sturdy, though you can't detach the halves to clean, but doesn't really matter if I can't manage to cut a piece of string with them they won't ever get enough use to get dirty.

Sharp, sturdy, but not heavy
