Overview
ZWILLING makes these Twin Original multi-purpose shears with serrated stainless steel blades and plastic handles shaped for either hand. The serrated edge bites into what it cuts instead of letting it slide as the blades close.
Serrated blades hold their grip on what they cut, and the handles work for left- or right-handed cooks. Short blades favor snipping over long straight cuts.
Who it's for
Households that share one pair of scissors between left- and right-handed cooks get a grip both can use. Cooks who joint chickens or cut through bone need a heavier tool.
Pros and cons
- Serrated blades resist slipping
- Stainless steel with corrosion resistance
- Light in the hand
- Compact length stores easily
- Blades are short for long cuts
- Plastic handles, not metal
- Dishwasher safety not listed
Performance notes
Cutting force rises as the item moves closer to the pivot, so tougher stems cut best near the base of the blades. The serrations stop soft or slick material from sliding forward as the blades close.

Frequently asked questions
How should I clean the ZWILLING Twin Original shears?
The listing gives no care instructions or dishwasher rating. It does list stainless blades with a corrosion resistant finish, so washing by hand and drying promptly is the cautious route until ZWILLING confirms.
Can the ZWILLING Twin Original shears cut chicken bones?
The listing calls them multi-purpose shears with short serrated blades and makes no poultry or bone claim, so use dedicated poultry shears for bones.
