Overview
A pair of stainless steel kitchen shears from OXO with micro-serrated blades and a built-in herb stripper, designed for cutting tasks from meat and vegetables to twine and cardboard packaging.
The herb stripper built into the handle is the detail that separates these from a plain kitchen scissors, letting them pull leaves off tough stems in one motion. Cushioned grip pads are aimed at reducing hand fatigue during repeated cuts, and the blades pull apart for cleaning rather than needing to be scrubbed while still joined. It reads as a general kitchen tool rather than one built for a single task like poultry alone.
- Stainless steel micro-serrated blades
- Built-in herb stripper
- Cushioned grip pads
- Blades separate for cleaning
Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants one multi-purpose shear for kitchen prep, packaging and herb stripping rather than a single-task poultry scissor. Not a specialist tool for heavy bone cutting, since it is built as a general kitchen shear.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Herb stripper built into the handle
- Micro-serrated blades resist slipping
- Blades separate fully for cleaning
- Not marketed as a heavy-duty poultry or bone shear
Performance notes
Micro-serrated stainless steel blades are what grip slicker items like meat or vegetable skins instead of letting them slide, and the herb stripper notch handles the specific job of stripping leaves from stems. Because the blades separate at a pivot point, cleaning does not require working a brush between closed blades.
