Summary
Shun cutlery reflects a centuries-old tradition of Japanese knife making. The company’s precision craftsmanship extends to these shears, which are made with the same attention to detail found in Shun knives. High-carbon stainless steel gives the shears’ blades superior strength and the ability to hold an extra-sharp cutting edge, the hallmark of Japanese cutlery. The two shears in this set can handle numerous tasks, from snipping delicate herbs to breaking down poultry and even opening jars.
- Set includes 3" herb shears and 4 1/2" kitchen shears with micro-serrated bottom blade.
- Japanese Mo.V high-carbon, stainless-steel blades sharpen easily and resist corrosion.
- Interlocking blade screw allows tension to be set according to preference or task.
- Ambidextrous handles are designed for right or left-handed use and padded with a plastic polymer for a comfortable grip.
- Notched blade design allows kitchen shears to cut through thin bones; on the herb shears, the notch strips and cut stems.
- Kitchen shear’s micro serrations grip as you cut, while the offset handle provides optimal balance and leverage. A screwdriver/pry tool is built into the handle.
