Yes, the blades are designed to separate completely. This allows you to thoroughly clean the pivot point and ensure no food residue is trapped between the blades.

While they are robust enough for trimming herbs and processing poultry, they are primarily designed for precision cutting. They will handle chicken joints and cartilage well, but avoid using them on heavy, dense bones to protect the edge.

The cobalt alloy is significantly harder than standard stainless steel, which allows the blades to maintain a razor-sharp edge for much longer. This means you will need to sharpen them less frequently even with regular daily use.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use. This preserves the mirror-polished finish and ensures the edge remains sharp for years to come.

At 6 ounces, these shears offer a balanced, substantial feel in the hand. This weight provides natural leverage, making it easier to apply consistent pressure without needing to grip the handles too tightly.
