Wüsthof Shears

No, these shears are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the sharpness of the stainless steel blades and the integrity of the handles, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately.

The blades are designed to pull apart easily when opened to a specific angle. This allows you to thoroughly clean the pivot point where food residue often collects, ensuring a hygienic tool.

While these shears are robust and excellent for herbs, twine, and parchment paper, they are not designed for heavy-duty butchery or cutting through thick bones. For those tasks, a dedicated poultry shear or cleaver is a better choice.

The polypropylene handles are textured to provide a secure, comfortable grip, even when your hands are wet or greasy. This adds a necessary layer of safety and control when you are working quickly in the kitchen.

Because the blades separate, sharpening is straightforward. You can sharpen each blade individually using a standard pull-through sharpener or a whetstone, just as you would with a kitchen knife, ensuring you maintain the original edge angle.
