Kitchen shears separates for use as a 5-inch santoku knife
Strong, very sharp stainless-steel blades
Use as shears for cutting leafy greens and herbs
Hollow-edge santoku excels at slicing vegetables and meat
Editorial Review:
For a gift that's truly unique, wrap up the Sheartoku from KitchenAid. The gadget is a combination kitchen shears and santoku-the Asian-style knife that features hollows along the blade for quick release, and thus thin slices, of vegetables, meat, or seafood. Use the Sheartoku like a pair of scissors to cut easily through leafy greens such as parsley, lettuce, and chard, as well as through chicken breasts and steak to make strips for fajitas. Or, separate the blades and use the 5-inch santoku knife on its own to chop or slice vegetables and meat for stir-fry. Constructed of sharp, heavy-duty stainless steel, the blades are connected to an offset handle that facilitates cutting on a flat surface in the shears position. After use, the Sheartoku should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri

Kitchen Shears:
This product is pretty good. They are heavy duty and will cut chicken, other meats and herbs. However they are not sharp enough to cut paper, plastic or other plastics and packaging efficiently. I was pleased with the heavy duty nature of the shears and they were as expected of a kitchenaid product. However, what wasn't expected was the rust spots that showed up on a stainless steel product after the first washing. Overall they are worth what I paid on Amazon, but I wouldn't repeat the buy regular retail.
love these:
cheap easy solution . I use these to give flowers a fresh cut,snip veggies. They come apart for easy cleaning.
Coolest Kitchen Scissors Ever!:
I saw these kitchen shears and since the price was great ($6) and I go through scissors in the kitchen like crazy, I ordered a pair. They are amazing! They cut easily and cleanly. The handles are ergonomically designed and extremely comfortable. But the most unique feature is that they come apart. I love this! Since I use kitchen shears for almost everything, including cutting cooked pizza, being able to take them apart for cleaning is wonderful and a real timesaver. But the best feature is that... more info
Cuts like a knife:
I was very excited when I saw an ad for these shears and couldn't wait to get them home to try them for myself. The blade is sharp and cuts very cleanly. Blades come apart for easy cleaning, and since there is no hinge in the middle, as with normal shears, there is no rusting or stiffness at the joint. The product advertises that the santoku blade can be used alone, but obviously, the knife edge is only on the outside of the blade, so don't expect miracles, however, I tried it and it does cut reasonably... more info
