Zyliss2-Piece Stainless Steel Kitchen Scissor & Shear Set – 7" Red & 9" Black – Micro-Serrated Blades, Soft-Touch Grip, Heavy-Duty Hinge & Box Cutter – Food Prep & Household Use Durable & Versatile

These are nice sharp little herb scissors. Would purchase them again if for some reason they broke. They are great quality though and so I don’t suspect they will break anytime soon. I would recommend them to others.

I did not want to spend too much on herb scissors - I also wanted scissors made primarily for herbs.Much of what I saw was multipurpose or if it was just for herbs it was 3 times the price .I also did not want the ones with the multilayered blades.These are light and easy- they work well but they arent a hazard like some of the super sharp ones seemed to be .I am also tired of dealing with unknown brands on Amazon .I try to limit my purchases on Amazon and it is best to go with a product you recognize like Zyliss .Herbs are last minute additions when I am cooking and being able to quickly snip dill or parsley is great.I hope the farmers market will have chives next week - it is my favorite herb and the reason I bought the scissors . Tired of chopping chives with a knife and having them fly out all over the kitchen- scissor is more controlled.I wish they weren't Made in China but they are useful unlike some other purchases I have made on Amazon.

I have a pair of Fiskars small pruning shears I use for other plants. They're fantastic, but due to the tension spring, I find them an unwieldy tool for pruning my Aerogarden.So I purchased the Zyliss Herb Scissors exclusively for harvesting from my Aerogarden, and am pleased beyond expectations. They are extremely sharp and make quick work of cutting stems. They are small enough for very tiny spaces, and since they have no tension spring, I have complete control of my cuts. They're a fine tool for snipping small amounts of fresh herbs, but not the only tool I use. I may chop up herbs on a cutting board or in my blender, if I have large amounts.Where the inside edges of the handles meet, there are semi-circular cut-outs. If you need to strip leaves, place the stems between the handles, close the handles, and pull the stems. They work just like wire strippers!I can wash and dry them in seconds using liquid dish detergent and a microfiber towel. After months of use, I've not had any herb parts get stuck to or in the scissors, nor do they show any signs of corrosion or dulling. They come with a cap to protect the blades and your fingers. Keep them away from children; I cannot emphasize how sharp the blades are.By the way, I wash my hands before I touch my Aerogarden or any tools I use with it. If I touch anything else, I wash my hands again. The same with my tools for our safety. We eat the stuff from the Aerogarden, and take precautions to not infect it with nasty bacteria.And with all that washing, these scissors still look and perform like new. Well worth the investment!

Love these kitchen scissors. I have had them for two months now, and use them several times a day. They are a good size and heft, cut well, and are more than just a regular old pair of scissors that I happen to keep in the kitchen (which is what I had been using). These can handle anything a regular scissor would, but have added features that make them super handy in the kitchen. And it works for both right and left handed folks.The scissors come apart and back together for easy cleanup, but not so easily that they are always falling apart. It is spring-assisted, so it opens right up after cutting, without your needing to work in both directions. The spring assist is neither too tight nor too loose. I love the small lock in the handle: it keeps the blades closed and is immediately accessible to unlock with one hand as soon as I pick up the scissors. I don't use mine for meats, so I can't weigh in on that. They are very good for herbs, salads, and veggies you want to cut right into the pot. There is a notch in the base of the blades for small branches (or bones for meat-eaters). One of the blades has a serrated edge when that is needed, and there is a nifty little box cutter in the bottom of the round handle. The grey parts of the handle are a soft rubbery texture that is easy to grip, even with wet hands.Upshot is, it has everything I was looking for except maybe an herb stripper. Plus, Zyliss has great customer service, so I'm not worried about getting any mishaps resolved should anything come up during the three-year warranty period. Definitely recommend.

If you want sturdy and hard cutting scissor then.... I would recommend to skip on this one. Feels somewhat cheap and not sharp enough to use it for cutting food.

This is the BEST scissors I ever had. I am an avid gardener and love to do gardening and always like to carry a pair of Snippers in my pocket. The problem is that all of the snippers including the one I have is quite bulky/heavy and they do not have a protective cover for the blades. So, I searched for a good quality, small size scissors or snippers with a blade cover. I could not find any (I am too picky and particular) with all of my requirements. Finally I happen to see this one from ZYLISS (ZYLISS name is associated with Fine quality products). It is extremely sharp and light weight. It even has a scalloped area to strip leaves from herbs like Rosemary, Thyme, etc. It has comfortable handle and it is so light weight that I don't even know that I have it in my pocket. Most importantly it has a smart blade Guard (the plastic guard will not come off as it slides over the rivet nice and tight. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with similar needs. Try it - you will like it.If I have any more comments I will update my review later on.NOTE TO MANUFACTURER: I would like to see the blades about 1" longer.

I have a pair of these, which have held up very well in the three years that I have owned them. My aunt needed a pair, so I purchased this set for her. She is very satisfied with them, as she uses them a lot to cut into chicken bones, to snip herbs and even uses them to cut a pizza pie.

I hate that these come apart. Because I’m always having to line it up and put it back together again, after every wash. rust stain after the first wash. And these are HUGE. I have large hands for a woman and these are huge on me. Can’t believe it’s so well reviewed

Amazing nothing like it, the small blades with the huge handles makes some incredible leverage

Great for cutting herbs,stripping herbs ,even good for cutting grape stems

Sharp, easy to use and clean

I buy these for the ladies I work with in a greenhouse....we trim a lot of plants and have found that the short sharp blades are the best for cleaning up potted plants

Arrived quickly. Great little scissors for my herb garden. I like that they came with a protecting sleeve.
