| If I had known about the excellent quality and performance of this kitchen scissors and knife set I wouldn't have wasted my money on cheaper versions. The scissors are rugged and sharp; they can cut through chicken bones easily. Be extra careful when using the knife, especially the first few times; it's so super sharp that the blade may suddenly surprise you...if you know what I mean. I was used to having to use force when cutting something but NOT with this knife. Highly recommended. |
Henckels Lite, but Excellent

At $14.99 for both the scissors and a paring knife, including super saver shipping, this is a screaming deal. I already own the Henckels scissors and paring knife in heavier versions, so why get these?
The scissors are handy in my kitchen for opening my mail, cutting any paper or plastic packaging, and for doing my flower arrangements. They are somewhat smaller than my other pair, but they are every bit as sharp. The handles are almost as sturdy as well; another reviewer uses these for cutting up poultry, but I have my doubts about whether they are sturdy enough. My heavier scissors are available for that and other food processing.
The paring knife is literally razor sharp and does my salads easily. I even used it to slice slits in a frozen pie top, effortlessly. However, the handle is extremely light, and I wouldn't try to use any leverage with this knife.
The best part is that these products are guaranteed by Henckels, just like their other products. I recently mailed in my heavier scissors because one of the handles broke; this pair was over 25 years old. I paid the postage to Henckels, and they sent me a new pair free, including free return postage, no questions asked. You cannot beat that for customer service.
August 8, 2009 update: Now that I have been extensively using the knife for a couple of months, it is still razor sharp. Notwithstanding the thinness of the blade, it is particularly good for taking cooked corn off the cob and for cutting off excess fat from thick bacon. I flat out love the scissors for kitchen tasks; they too are extremely sharp. |
Great Product from a superior Brand at a bargain Price!

| Excellent product that any cook will use everyday! Kitchen shears have so many uses that the average armchair chef fails to realize. Definitely a timesaver product! |
Exceptional quality

| Was looking for a good kitchen paring knife and kitchen scissors. I was pleasantly surprised to find them being offered as a set at an affordable price. 2nd pleasant surprise was when I received them and found them to be of such good quality. I have been using them both daily for several months and am most satisfied. |
