Made by Messermeister, a company known for its outstanding kitchen cutlery, these utility shears were recently honored by "Fine Cooking" magazine's "Guide to the Best Kitchen Tools and Ingredients." These shears are extremely sharp with narrow but sturdy stainless steel blades that will cut through a variety of foods and materials. Encompassed in this one tool is a screwdriver, nutcracker, jar lid opener and gripper, bottle opener and a bone and twig cutter. The blades separate for easy cleaning. The rubber handles and smaller thumbhole gives the shears a comfortable and secure grip. These shears carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
