Overview
Heavy-duty spring-loaded poultry shears from OXO, with curved tapered blades, a bone-holding notch, a handle loop that guards the hand, and a lock for closed storage.
The spring loading does the physical work here, reopening the blades between cuts so a home cook is not fighting the shears' resistance on every squeeze. A handle loop and bolster are specifically there to stop the hand from sliding forward onto the blade, a detail aimed at the exact injury risk shears like these can carry. The shears come apart for cleaning but are hand wash only, not dishwasher safe.
- Spring-loaded blade action
- Curved, tapered blade shape
- Bone-holding blade notch
- Handle lock for closed storage
Who it's for
Useful for anyone who breaks down poultry or needs to cut through small bones regularly rather than relying on a chef's knife. Not the pick for someone who wants every kitchen tool to be dishwasher safe, since these are hand wash only.
Pros and cons
- Curved blades reach tight joints
- Bone notch holds bones while cutting
- Handle guard prevents hand slipping forward
- Comes apart for cleaning
- Hand wash only, not dishwasher safe
Performance notes
The curved, tapered blade shape is built to reach into joints and tight spots on poultry that a straight blade cannot, and a dedicated notch holds bones steady while cutting instead of letting them slip. Spring loading reopens the blades automatically between cuts, and the handle loop plus bolster keep the hand from sliding forward onto the cutting edge. The blades separate for cleaning, but OXO specifies hand washing with warm soapy water and prompt drying rather than dishwasher use.
