What our customer's say!

"Not heavy duty at all", I broke my pair cutting a chicken apart. They are hard to hold especially with greasy hands, they don't open wide enough and the curved part of the blade that is used for gripping a chicken bone is too thin that's where it broke on me. I really like Zyliss products but they need to go back to the drawing board on these. If you are cutting paper these are great.

"OK but not great. lousy spring", I cut some rosemary and thyme and basil from plants outside. The woody stems beat up on the scissors blades. The blades sharpened quickly though. These two things lead me to believe that they're not as strong an alloy as advertised.
The spring mechanism is failure. It's not a spring, but a metal strip that you have to rebend to be "assisted" by the "spring assisted" shears.
It does not fully open the blades for you.

for the money, they're OK. I like most Zyliss products I have used. If I had to do over again, I'd buy the Kuhn Rikon Ultimate Snips 8.5-inch snips. Those look like they will cut herb bushes.

PS-
If you want scissors, get some full steel scissors.

"Not Zyliss Quality", I've had these scissors for about 3 months now and it works fine with most things, but it can't cut through plastic packaging (bags of food, milk, etc.) I was much better of with my generic kitchen scissors that I have before. I do have to admit though that it looks very attractive hanging in the kitchen.
