Title: Work Great
Review: I spatchcock chicken frequently and my stainless shears didn't cut as well and would get really slippery. These cut through backbones with ease and are much easier to control.

Title: Game changer
Review: Just used this product to spatchcock a turkey. It was still partially frozen and yet the shears cut right through. Total game changer. Sharp, strong, felt good in the hand. OXO has not disappointed yet.

Title: Sharp with powerful cutting ability- great product!
Review: I've owned several kitchen shears, but these are the best by far. I've had them for over two years now and mainly use them for spatchcocking chicken. Other shears I have had, had trouble cutting the bones- not these. They cut right through. They also pull apart simply for access to cleaning and slap back together easily. Great product.

Title: Huge improvement over my Fiskars kitchen shears!
Review: (UPDATE: As another person stated, the spring on this is weak. After only a couple uses, it no longer springs the shears back open. With no finger hold on the top, there is no way to use your hand to pull it back to the open position. I'm very disappointed these didn't turn out to be what I was looking for...however, they're the best thing I have on hand (hehe! get it?) for prepping cat food, so I have continued using them. They aren't quite as sharp as they were at first, which makes sense after cutting many bones with them, but they still cut bones, and the tip is still sharp enough to keep chunking up the meat. I might buy another pair one of these days. So, they didn't completely meet the need I had, but they're the best shears I've found so far. They would be absolutely perfect for normal kitchen use, so I'm upgrading the rating.)I feed my cats raw meaty bones, but I like to cut them up into chunks so feeding time will go a little quicker. I've been using a pair of Fiskars kitchen shears, and they barely did the job, but that was all I had. I have liked the OXO brand for several other utensils, and saw others who feed raw had given a good review on these, so I decided it would be worth a try. Then my Fiskars handle broke, so I was extra anxious for this to arrive! Yesterday I opened the package as soon as it arrived, and I prepared 10 days worth of feedings. They seem solid, are definitely sharp, and I like that they come apart for washing, and they have a simple locking mechanism. They cut through small bones like it's nothing. I had to work around the larger bones, such as the chicken thighs, but I just wedged it into the notch, and laid the shears on the cutting board so I could push down harder with my palm.I also noticed at one point that they weren't closing all the way, so I couldn't cut with the sharp pointy tip. That would have been a game changer for me! Upon closer examination, I realized the little plastic lock had flipped, and it was keeping the handles from closing all the way. No big deal. I kept an eye on it from then on, making sure it stayed open.I read where one reviewer said the placement of the notch makes you have to open them to an unnatural position for anyone's hand, and I did notice this, but I just shoved them forward onto the bone and they opened up just fine. I wouldn't try to cut anything larger than fish or fowl. I'd love to have a grinder that would do the job, but they're way too pricey! At this price, I might order another pair to always have one ready to go!I've only used them once, so I'll report back in a few months and upgrade to 5 stars if they're still going strong.

Title: Super strong!
Review: I use these to cut up chicken backs and they work amazingly well! I’m a 70 yo woman and have no problem squeezing them. Another OXO hit. A workhorse and much safer than a knife/cleaver.

Title: Great shears, even better customer service
Review: I bought these shears after quite a bit of research and they have risen to every challenge I have given them until last week when the spring went. I've never heard of that happening and wrote Oxo to ask the best way to fix, and within a day got a notice that a new pair were speeding their way to me as soon as I could confirm my address. The shears are back on my knife block and I'm now getting a couple more for stocking presents for my food loving family. Super comfortable and sharp shears, very sanitary with Oxo's amazing customer service standing behind in the very very unlikely chance something goes wrong.

Review: I bought these poultry shears as a replacement with my Henckel shears that have been in use for over 10 years. I use them exclusively for cutting up whole fryer chickens for making cat food. I'd debated sticking with my previous brand but decided to give these a try based on reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The ergonomics are a little bit different from my old shears, so it took a few episodes for my hand muscles to get used to them, but now I love them. They cut cleanly through meat and thin bones/joints; and I love the fact that they can be taken apart to clean them rather than having a fixed spring that can get food embedded or rust. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone considering this product.

Review: These are really good scissors for cutting tough things. The main target is chicken bones, but they do well on other stuff you might hesitate to tackle with ordinary scissors. Your fingers go through the hole in the lower handle and your palm grips the upper handle against a spring. This means that you don't need to use your thumb to make a cut and you can use the whole strength of your hand.The two halves come apart for cleaning, so you don't need to worry about grunge and corrosion hiding inside the joint. When you put them together they fit precisely, so no wobbles or gaps between the blades.The only downside is that the cutting edge is only at the forward end of the blades: if you open them wide to cut cardboard like you would with normal scissors nothing happens. This design makes sense for poultry bones, but you need to keep it in mind for other stuff.We had a pair of these for many years. Eventually the spring broke, so now we've bought another pair. The spring is the only reason I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness; its clearly the weakest point in the design. But don't let that put you off; these scissors will still give you years of good service.
