OXO Good Grips Kitchen & Herb Stainless Steel Scissors, Silver/Black

Fantastic scissors , sharp and feel very sturdy, easy to clean . well worth paying the little extra for.

I had no idea that OXO made kitchen equipment - I naively thought they just made stock cubes and awful TV ads in the 80s! It seems I've been missing a trick here with their equipment though...I was becoming more and more frustrated with the pair of scissors I was using in the kitchen. Probably the item I cut the most is chicken breasts or mini fillets and more recently I was finding that a bit of a struggle. Rather than one simple snip to cut through it was requiring more and more, especially to cut the sinew part on some of the breasts.I decided to look for some new scissors and quickly came across these OXO Good Grips Kitchen Herb Scissors. Lots of positive reviews so that's always a good start.When they arrived I was impressed at how they looked and felt, but that was nowhere near as satisfying as the sharp snipping noise they make. You can definitely feel the blades making good contact and they felt sharp. I decided to cut some chicken up, because that is pretty much what I bought them for, and they sheared through it like a knife through butter. Quick and easy and a satisfying noise during each snip.The scissors come apart easy so you can clean them which is a novel idea. The handles are quite large and perfect for my hands. My girlfriends hands are much smaller and she can use them OK but they don't open as wide for her, however she was still able to cut stuff so she's happy with them too.There isn't much to go wrong with these but I'll be interested to see how long they last. The next time I start struggling to cut chicken it will be a pretty good indicator that the scissors are blunt!I've not used the herb stripper (yet) so can't really comment on that part. It certainly wasn't a consideration for me when purchasing these scissors though.Pros:- Decent quality.- Sharp (with a satisfying snipping noise).- Come apart easily for cleaning.Neutral:- The handles are quite large, perfect for my hands but small hands may struggle to open them very far.Cons:- Perhaps £12 is a little expensive for a pair of scissors but I use them pretty much every day.

Bought this to replace my old kitchen scissors. It's the best I have ever used, very robust. Comes apart for easy cleaning.

The difference between these scissors and all our old, blunt ones is amazing. Using these Oxo scissors reveals how worn and useless our old ones are. Cuts firmly through all the items/ foods / wrappings/ flowers found in our kitchen. Comfortable and well moulded grips make it easy to apply a lot of cutting pressure. Even bought s pair for my mum.

Absolutely the best kitchen scissors I've ever possessed. Take care not to slice up the wash up sponge or tge tea towels. I wouldn't put in our dishwasher, fearing that they would lose their sharpness. They cut chives and other herbs like rosemary, thyme, or mint easily and perfectly, they trim fat etc off chicken thighs, pork chops or loin chops. They separate so easily for washing and after drying fit back together easily again. The scissors feel just right in my hands, despite my osteoarthritis I can use them without any pain or problem. I use them for so many other kitchen cutting tasks and they surprise me every time with their fantastic sharpness which actually makes a cutting instrument much safer, I think.

Well made, comfortable to use, good cutting edges. The two pieces come apart to enable ease of cleaning and drying. The usual high standards of thought and engineering have gone into this OXO Good Grips product

Great scissors. Easy to clean, sharp and comfortable to use.

A very well designed and made. Would recommend.
