BergHOFF Legacy Poultry Shears

These shears are robust enough to handle both chicken and turkey. The stainless steel construction provides the necessary leverage to cut through cartilage and smaller bones, though they are best suited for standard poultry butchery rather than heavy-duty game processing.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand-washing these shears. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can dull the blades over time and potentially damage the ergonomic handle material.

Standard kitchen scissors are designed for general tasks like opening packages or snipping herbs. These poultry shears feature a specific blade geometry and pivot point designed to provide the extra leverage needed to cut through bone and tough connective tissue without slipping.

Yes, the ergonomic design is intended to accommodate a variety of hand sizes. The handle shape is balanced to reduce strain, providing a secure grip that helps maintain control even when you are applying the pressure required to break down a whole bird.

The Legacy Poultry Shears are designed for immediate use and do not feature a locking mechanism. We recommend storing them in a knife block or a dedicated drawer organizer to protect the blades and ensure safety.
