Shears Reviews

The water filter makes a big difference. The sleek design matches our appliances. If the carafe is too full, it tends to spill a little bit when pouring...not a big deal. Overall, we like it though. Highly recommended!!!!

Love it! We were replacing a 12-year old Braun coffee maker (which is still working!), so the Braun brand name was a plus for us. The coffee tastes better. We love the gold cone filter and were happy to be rid of the paper variety. The machine runs well without the Britta water filter in place, but we enjoy that feature and use it. We also like the programmable turn-on/shut-off feature and the coffee is REALLY hot!

Great set I just wish the larger knives would of been sharper, but that's ok it come with a sharpner

I bought these to use at home, where I cook 4-5 nights per week. I have had my set for over a year now, and am very pleased with them. All the knives have stayed so sharp that I did not need to sharpen them. I like the versatility of having so many different knives and they look great in the block on my counter. I am very pleased with my purchase!
If I worked in a restaurant and did hours of prep work, I would probably want a set with more heft, but these are fine for me. And what a price!

I got exactly what it said it was and it arrived quickly and in great condition. It has every cutting implement I could want and it is all very good quality. I am completely thrilled. It is a very good buy for the money and I was impressed.

I got this set after reading the reviews. And guess what..the reviews are wrong.

I used one knife so far, it was sharp and good. I used it and cleaned it with water and put it in the wooden block. The next day I had trouble taking it off from the block. After I did I saw it had rust!

Yes, thats right, it rusted.

I dont care how ergonomical it is if it rusts after a single use!

You will regret if you buy this awful set.

As this was being shipped, and with my luck, I was quite anxious that I would receive a bad knife block set. Surprisingly, it's held up fine and served me well. No rust; blades are still as sharp as new (I've been cooking a *lot* lately); handles are fine; rivets still intact.

With the # of pieces in this set, however, I must say, what a HUGE value this is!

I ordered this item because I know Wusthof has a reputation for quality. I find the kitchen shears sturdy and sharp; especially appreciated are the easy-separation feature of the blades for washing and the handy lid-gripper for opening jars and bottles.

These W�sthof Grand Prix Kitchen Shears are an excellent addition to one's collection of quality knives and kitchen tools. I keep these kitchen scissors handy by storing them in a W�sthof oak wooden slant knife block that has a special slot for them. I use them almost every day for household tasks - from opening plastic bags and cardboard boxes to cutting cheesecloth for making bouquet garni or waxed-paper rounds for lining cake tins. The handles are ergonomic, so that your hand doesn't get cramped when using them, and hygenic, so that they can be kept sanitized, since they're made from one piece of specially-molded plastic, which is the same plastic as the handles of W�sthof Grand Prix knives. I wash my kitchen shears by hand, dry them immediately, and place them back in the knife block, so they stay relatively sharp in between professional sharpenings. They are made in Germany from the same high-carbon, no-stain steel as the W�sthof Classic and Grand Prix lines of knives. The only drawback that I've found with these kitchen shears is that they are slightly bulky to use, as compared to Joyce Chen kitchen scissors, which I use for snipping herbs from the garden. The Joyce Chen scissors never seem to need sharpening, and they hold a keener edge than these shears. Also, I don't use these W�sthof kitchen shears for cutting up poultry; I prefer using my J. A. Henckels chrome-plated poultry shears for that task. All in all, these kitchen shears are a good kitchen tool that will last a long time, and they are safe for use by older children, too.

This is not as good as a bigger pruning snipper. It feels small in your hand. I wish there was a place to put the tip cover when in use.

This is the 2nd pair I've owned and these little snips last. The first pair lasted 5 years and are still in use. They're used daily at the garden center where I work and are the favorite tool of all my co-workers. The snips are durable enough to trim everything from bedding plants to hanging baskets to shrubs (butterfly bushes) yet light and responsive enough to be easily handled by those of us with joint problems. The Fiskars small size makes it easy to trim out even the most densely overgrown plants and make deadheading Petunias a breeze. I've tried other snips by various manufacturers and none have worked as well as these. The others have been too bulky, too heavy, too large for delicate trims and/or too tight in the hinge to be used comfortably. Over all the Fiskars Micro-snips are the perfect tool to clean up both houseplants and garden beds.

Good grip, easy to use, has safety lock & blade cover. Very useful.

I got these knives because I had a cheap wood block with knives of all kinds on it ..NOW I have a way nicer block, a sharpening tool, bonus knive..and all these knives really ARE super sharp..had to get the block with the scissors for conveniant kitchen use..I would recommend these to friends and family because I like them

I bought this set to replace our odds and ends collection of kitchen knives and could not be happier. The block gets the knives out of the drawer and now I have something that I can keep sharp. I good sharp blade and an easy to grip handle, makes all the difference.

I tried a few knife sets before settling on this one. I tried the Kitchenaid & Farberware sets and they cannot match the quality of these Cuisinarts. They are so sharp that I had to change the way I prepared vegs - they are like razors! They are heavy and well balanced. Did I mention sharp? Be careful!

OK -- I bought these because of the amazing reviews these were getting. Boy, am I disappointed. These didn't just break... they actually fell apart in my wife's hands. My wife wasn't doing anything particularly interesting with them when they fell apart. I don't think this would be so disappointing if they didn't fall apart within the first day of getting these. Get some Fiskars.

I needed an kitchen scissors/shears to replace one lost. The item by Chicago Cutlery is great. It actually was better than the original so the loss was a gain.

Nice design and balance... sharp and functional. Price better than Walmart stores.

These Wusthof Scissors are not the best scissors out on the market, they are just ok. The main problem I have with these scissors is that the two tabs on the handles of the scissors tend to pinch together and get stuck when using them. I have used better scissors at work I believe they are Henckels.

Great scissors overall. Sturdy, sharp, inexpensive and they easily come apart for cleaning. Not much more you can ask for.

I have always cooked with high quality (Henckel Four Star) knives, yet I never even investigated a good pair of kithcen shears. These Wusthof shears are a delight and I use them for everything kitchen... chicken, carrots, fish, etc. They work flawlessly and the fact that they easily come apart for cleaning each blade individually is wonderful. Treat yourelf to these shears and enjoy.

This was my last shot at buying a low priced knife set. After trying several others and having to simply toss them out, I finally found a set that is a keeper.
The knives are very sharp and heavy....well worth the money spent!

I was very pleased to find this set of knives at such an affordable price. I was even more pleased at the quality of the set. I knew, with the Farberware name on it, I would be satisfied but I got more than I expected.
The knives are sturdily made with a nice sharp edge and a comfortable grip. The block they come with sets up nicely too. I was especially happy with the serated edge on the steak knives.

I have had these shears for 15 years and have put them through the dishwasher, never sharpened them, and they still work great. I have used them for in the kitchen, for crafts, to gardening (for extensive gardening get Felco pruners as these shears give me blisters if I cut thick stalks for too long...).

I recall having spent something on the order of the "list price" back then, and was wondering why kitchen shears seem to cost so much less these days (did I overpay for the original purchase?). Well, having since used shears that look very similar but are not this set, I realize that these are worth every penny if you like a quality product that lasts. I still have the first pair, and am getting another set for a second kitchen...

I doubt you will find any better kitchen and all around scissors anywhere

I have had these shears for over 10 years - they have withstood everything. I put them in the dishwasher regularly without any problems. They are as sharp as the day I bought them. I have had other less expensive shears and scissors during the same time - they just don't stand up to the use/abuse that these do.
