These are straightforward stainless steel kitchen scissors designed for the everyday cutting tasks that come up during prep and service — opening packaging, portioning herbs, cutting string, trimming meat, or separating links. They are a practical, no-frills addition to a prep station or knife block.

In a commercial kitchen, scissors like these tend to see heavy daily use across a range of tasks. The stainless steel blades hold a working edge well enough for routine cutting work, and the plastic handles provide a reasonable grip without adding unnecessary bulk. At 60g they are light enough to handle repeatedly without fatigue during a long prep shift.

A few practical points worth noting:

  • Stainless steel blades suitable for food contact use
  • Dishwasher safe, which simplifies end-of-service cleaning
  • Lightweight at 60g — comfortable for extended prep tasks
  • Compact 203mm length fits standard knife blocks and utensil rolls
  • Budget price point suits bulk purchasing for busy kitchens

These scissors are best suited to kitchens that need a reliable, low-cost cutting tool for general prep tasks. They are not a specialist poultry shear or a heavy-duty butchery tool — for sustained heavy cutting work, a more robust pair of kitchen shears would be worth considering. As a workhorse prep scissor kept in rotation alongside other small tools, they do the job consistently.

If you are kitting out a new kitchen or restocking smallwares and want a steer on what works well day to day, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Are these scissors robust enough for daily commercial kitchen use?

They are well suited to everyday prep tasks such as cutting string, trimming herbs, opening packaging, and separating sausages. For heavier or more specialised cutting work — such as breaking down poultry — a dedicated pair of kitchen shears with a stronger blade and handle construction would be more appropriate.

Can these scissors go through a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, they are dishwasher safe, which makes them practical for busy kitchens where cleaning between service periods needs to be quick and straightforward. As with all stainless steel smallwares, drying them promptly after washing will help maintain condition over time.

How many pairs should a busy kitchen keep in rotation?

That depends on the size of the team and how many prep stations are running simultaneously. In most kitchens, having two or three pairs available ensures there is always a clean set to hand during peak prep periods, particularly if scissors are in constant use across different tasks.
