Gerber Graduates Vital Poultry Shears

Yes, the shears feature a pivot pin release mechanism that allows you to separate the blades. This design makes it much easier to clean thoroughly and prevents food buildup in the hinge area.

They are designed primarily for processing small game and poultry. The serrated edge is excellent for gripping and cutting through tough skin and cartilage, though they are not intended for heavy-duty butchery of large bones.

The handles feature a rubber over-mold, which provides a secure, non-slip grip even when wet. The inclusion of large finger choils also helps reduce hand fatigue by providing better leverage and control.

The high-visibility orange color is a safety and convenience feature. It makes the shears easy to spot quickly in a busy kitchen drawer or if you happen to set them down while working in the field.

Because they are designed to be taken apart, maintenance is straightforward. Simply separate the blades after use, wash them with warm soapy water, and ensure they are completely dry before reassembling to keep the pivot point in good condition.
