The kitchen shears is one of the quiet, useful things the kitchen actually reaches for every day. We chose the shape for the hand and the material for the years, and we photograph it in plain profile so you can judge it honestly before it arrives.

Made from stainless steel, take-apart, it is finished the way the material asks to be finished — nothing lacquered over, nothing you have to baby. Key dimensions: 21 cm overall. Small natural variation in colour and grain is part of the material and not a flaw.

Dishwasher safe and built to keep its edge and finish through daily use. Ships within the United States in 2–5 business days, and is covered by our 30-day return on unused pieces. Buy it to use it.
