..... to replace the ten lousy ones that I have now? I have KitchenAid (good for a month), Wusthof (disappointed in this generally good brand), Sabatier (from Costco; came in a three-pack), Tramontina (never cut well), and OXO (usually my go-to gadget, but these were mediocre at best.)
If I could get a decent brand I'd like to pick up at least three.
TIA

I buy everything Cutco. Have had their shears for years and never been disappointed. I must have every knife they sell. Excellent quality.

@faeriemoon I use the Zylliss brand of stainless steel shears--including one for poultry and another for shellfish, along with a set of two of their general kitchen shears--one larger black handle with smooth blades and the other smaller red handle one with a saw tooth type edge.
No complaints from me and I have had them for many years.
Hope this helps. Happy holiday weeekeend. Maybe you will catch a good sale on these. If not, they are reasonable at the regular retail price.

I use a regular heavy duty scissor that I picked up at the Dollar Store. The handle is orange (Fishars?).

I second or third the recommendation for Cutco. Lifetime guarantee and free sharpening. They do offer sales twice a year I think.

i bought four of those Mark Charles snips a few years ago...the ones I constantly make fun of because QVC wants you to have a million pairs of them laying around!!!!
Use one set for spatchcocking chickens, cornish hen. ducks and turkeys. I eat a LOT of poultry and only buy whole birds.
I also cut them up for parts.
The others I just use as needed to cut flowers or stuff around the house.
The sets are and were cheap. They are cheap. They work that's all I care about! When they stop working, I'll buy another set. I figure, at 66, I'll need two sets before I leave this earth.
I spatchcock poultry EVERYTHING and have a GIANT laugh when I see spatched chickens for sale in the store at a premium ridiculous prices because someone took less than a minute to cut out that spine!!!
Just my opinion. I was looking for expensive chicken shears at one time too, then grabbed the MC shears, and jumped up and cried "WHY????"

Thank you one and all for your recommendations!! Going to look them all up in a bit and see what I think will work best for me.
Again; I appreciate the time you took to post. Thank you.
