These are great kitchen shears. I've had them for 5 years now and they are still going strong and cut as good as the day I bought them. I use these for just about everything from cutting whole chickens, cutting fresh herbs off the plant, cutting string, cutting open plastic deli meat packages and I'm a bit ashamed to admit, I've even used them as a make shift slotted and philips head screwdriver on a few occasions.
The bottle opener works well but I have a dedicated bottle opener that I find easier to use.
Cleaning wise, these are super easy. They come apart when you form a 90 degree angle with the blades and these just come apart. It makes washing them super simple and unlike scissors that do not come apart, I know that I am cleaning in between the blades, which is so important especially after cutting chicken and then switching to vegetables.
Pros:
- Comfortable to hold
- Cuts just about everything and maintains its sharpness
- Easy to clean
Cons:
- I guess they are more expensive than other brands

I am so exhausted from decades of being forced to buy horrible useless scissors. This year I converted all my scissors to Wustoff and when I reach for them I swear I hear a choir of angels singing. These work - making cutting stuff effortless, Blades separate for easier cleaning. I LOVE them and have replaced all of our house and kitchen scissors without telling anyone - to then hear, "Wow, where did these great scissors come from?" TY TY TY

Excellent cutting, comfortable to use and so easy to clean (because they separate into 2 sides). Worth the spend.

A good pair of kitchen scissors was number one on my son's birthday 'wish list'. Since he has a number of the Wusthof knives which he is very happy with, I decided to go with the Wusthof brand of kitchen shears. Another deciding factor was that there was a space for scissors in his Wusthof knife block, so he already had a convenient place to store them in. Now that he has been using them for over a month, I can honestly report that he is EXTREMELY HAPPY with my choice. Since he is very conscientious about keeping his knives sharpened, he was very impressed with the take-apart feature of the scissors, to enable a more perfect sharpening. They definitely honour the high-end quality found in the Wusthof products.

Good design - they function well, are easy to hold and control. I like the way they come apart for cleaning. I took off one star because the plastic handles are a bit down market for my Classic Ikon set - but you get what you pay for, the price is fair.
Update Dec 2013 - I still like them, the edge is holding up well, with no drop in cutting performance and they not not needed sharpening. I am buying a second set to use in the garden for dead heading and light pruning - they perform better than my garden pruners!

Superior quality as expected. I've been looking for a good pair of scissors to cut up food for our toddler (a friend recommended this to us and what an amazing tip that was!). This pair is versatile and sharp, looks and feels sturdy. However, it doesn't say where it's made on the actual scissors but the packing states it's made in germany. All in all, we trust the brand and so it was worth the cost for us!

I bought these shears five years ago and I love them! They are my favourite kitchen scissors. They come apart easily for cleaning, and stay together well when cutting. They are still sharp, and there's no rusting on any of the parts, unlike some stainless steel scissors that are put together with screws that rust.

Sharp, solid, exactly what I want for a pair of kitchen scissors
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2022Verified Purchase
The plastic handles are nice to hold. The metal blades feel sturdy but I can’t really comment on the metal’s hardness yet. But the scissors are very sharp out of the box. Then it is the all important joint that allows the blades to come apart, it is great! When locked in, the joint doesn’t feel loose yet gives a smooth rotation which allows for easy scissoring. The joint is also very intuitive to separate and reassemble the blades. The blades themselves have just the right amount of bend to touch tight, which gives a good shear but doesn’t create too much resistance. For the price, I feel I have a quality product made with precision (all about the joint). When the time comes I can imagine it is much easier to sharpen this pair of scissors.

Finora sembrano ottime
Reviewed in Italy on May 24, 2021Verified Purchase
Le ho comprate da poco. Finora, in confronto alle forbici che avevo prima (Maurer, comprate da ferramenta), sembrano molto migliori. Robuste, taglienti, facili da pulire. Ma Amazon dovrebbe chiedere valutazioni a distanza, che sarebbero molto più attendibili di quelle fatte dopo un breve periodo d'uso
