Re: Kuhn Rikon Classic Shears Are Now Available!

@LoveMeSomeQVC  Thanks for letting us know.  I have bought these as gifts and everyone loves them, including me.  I just bought another set.

@Kachina624 ........Thanks for the information.  I will not be buying them if they dont last long.  I would pay more for a long lasting pair.

To sharpen the KR or any other brand, fold a piece of aluminum foil over about 4 times.  Then cut into it about 4 times.  Your item should now cut smoothly.   I just did last night.

@Imaoldhippie - I've got two sets of Kuhn Rikon shears that are years old.  One regular size, the other the larger size they offered to use outside and in the garage.

 

None of mine have rusted; still work; still sharp.

 

I have a lot of Kuhn Rikon items and have never had a problem.  I have a set of kitchen knives that must be at least a decade old.  Used every day; still sharp.

 

(The knives were a set of four that they said would never need sharpening - and they never have.)

I have a few from many years ago, still work, used often, and mine have not rusted.  I don't know how the quality differs on newer versions.  Mine still seem sharp.

Thank you for the info.  I never bought a set after seeing them for years on the Q.  Just bought to try them out.  A Christmas gift to myself.  


 

I've heard about these for years.  Just ordered my Christmas gift to myself also.

 

Can't wait to try them.

Re: Kuhn Rikon Classic Shears Are Now Available!

I buy a set every year for my daughters and myself. One year I didn't buy them and my daughters were very disappointed. Now they are a must have. I throw mine in the dishwasher all the time and I've never had a pair of rust

I did find a set of four for $37 brand new in the package on eBay

Re: Kuhn Rikon Classic Shears Are Now Available!

Add my name to the list of people with multiple pairs of shears purchased over several years that have never rusted and still work perfectly! That is why I have continued to buy them to use throughout the house and yard and to give to others. The latch that closes the shears is better on some models than others, but that's really the only thing I'd have any minor complaints about—I use my shears just about every day.

Re: Kuhn Rikon Classic Shears Are Now Available!

@Caaareful Shopper - What a strange situation! I don't think I've ever seen a previously sold item return to inventory for a few days and then become a TSV (and now with free shipping as well). Hmmm.
