Silky Kitchen Shears

These shears are manufactured by Silky, a Japanese company renowned for their precision saws and cutting tools. This heritage translates into a higher level of blade engineering and durability compared to mass-market kitchen scissors, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent cut.

Yes, the professional-grade construction is designed to handle demanding culinary tasks, including cutting through poultry joints and cartilage. They are built for durability and leverage, making them a reliable tool for heavier prep work.

Absolutely. While they are robust enough for poultry, the precision engineering allows for fine control. They are sharp and precise enough to snip delicate herbs without bruising the leaves.

To maintain the edge, hand wash the shears with mild soap and dry them immediately after use to prevent corrosion. Avoid using them on bone or frozen foods, as this can dull or damage the precision-honed edges over time.

While many kitchen tools are labeled dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing these shears. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can degrade the blade's edge and the handle materials, shortening the lifespan of such a high-quality tool.
