I have these from a few years ago.  I also have a set from another brand.  These are MUCH better quality.  Stick with these.

I love these shears and use them practically every day.  I dedicate a color to a specific task -- delivered packages, food packages, food itself, household projects, etc.

 

I'm getting another set today.

This is the latest version where the closing latch works very well. I have these and love them. Got another set.

The best Thanksgiving turkey I ever made was when I spatchcocked it with these scissors. I could not have done that safely with any other tool. I had never heard of spatchcocking, but generally you cut the turkey in half lengthwise and spread it flat on a big deep cookie sheet to bake. It finishes in pactically half the time and the outside is perfectly brown and the inside is still juicy and done all the way through. I love that these scissors are food-safe.

This year I broke up with my long-term bf. (Good riddance.) When I packed up a few of my belongings I had at his house, these scissors were one of the things he whined about the most that he would no longer be able to use. Buddy, I know where you can buy your own, lol. Seriously this is probably a great gift for a man or a woman.

Interesting ... I got 3 Cornish Hens for Thanksgiving and was thinking I'd spatchcock one of them to see how it turns out.    lol


@Tinkrbl44 

 

They're so little will be interesting to see what happens if you do it, probably work out well!

 

Glad you mentioned cornish hens, was planning on filet for Thanksgiving but thinking maybe switching to the hens Smiley Happy

Susie Sunshine speaks again. Didn't you post mean things about Dennis Basso a couple days ago?

Edit: In retrospect, have you looked at them carefully. Maybe the grey ones would be to your liking.

@Sweet Kitties   your husband and my guy must be related.  😉

 

He has multiples of tools, because they would just go buy another one, when the original was some where..... I'm trying to train him.  8 years I didn't get very far.  

And....my gift recipients love them.  

Happy Thanksgiving.  🦃🍽

Yep that's my husband! I don't want to discourage you, but it's been 40 years for us. He buys multiples too. He'll say "where did that go?" I always respond, "where you put it. It didn't go anywhere on its own."

Fabulous and useful gifts!

 

I ordered another set also.  They are invaluable. 

 

I enjoy giving them and would be more than pleased to receive one as a gift.

Love these, they are great for opening boxes, I would never use one of my good kitchen knives to do that.

I can't imagine using a kitchen knife to open up clamshells!

 

Or as MarkCharles would say, "The Devil's Packaging."
