Kitchen scissors make many tasks faster than a knife: herbs snipped directly over the pan, pizza cut without a board, and poultry or shellfish handled more quickly with scissors than with a knife and block. That presupposes the scissors actually cut, sit well in the hand, and work equally well for left-handed and right-handed users.
These scissors from Joyce Chen have blades in Japanese high-carbon steel and handles with generous loops that sit comfortably without requiring a precise grip, while remaining trim and nimble. The design is ambidextrous with no asymmetric shaping, making them equally usable regardless of which hand you prefer. Handles available in red, white, and blue. Length: 16 cm. Hand wash recommended.
