Overview
Kitchen drawers get two pairs here: an all-purpose pair for herbs, pizza and packaging, and a utility pair for twine and baker's string. Each slides into an Edgekeeper sheath with a built-in sharpener that hones both blades as you close them through the channel.
Built-in sharpening means the edges get touched up on every return to the sleeve, with no separate sharpener needed. Neither pair can go in the dishwasher, and the listing gives no blade length, so reach for bigger jobs is unknown.
Who it's for
Suits a cook who snips herbs, trims twine and opens packages daily and would rather not maintain a separate sharpener. People unwilling to hand wash and dry tools straight away should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Two pairs cover light and heavier jobs
- Sheaths sharpen both blades at once
- Sheaths double as blade guards
- Usable by left and right hands
- Not dishwasher safe
- Must be dried right after washing
- Blade length not listed
Performance notes
Edge life depends on how often the shears go back through the sheath, since each return draws the bottom blade through the sharpening channel. The high carbon steel resists corrosion only if the blades are dried right after washing. Giving twine and string to the utility pair spares the general pair from heavier cuts.

Frequently asked questions
Do the Farberware EdgeKeeper sheaths sharpen knives too?
No. The sheaths sharpen only the shears they hold: the bottom blade goes through the sharpener channel and closing the blades sharpens both edges. Nothing in the listing says they work on knives.
What is the difference between the two Farberware shears?
The all-purpose pair handles everyday tasks such as herbs, vegetables, pizza and packaging. The utility shears are built for heavier work like cooking twine, baker's string and other tough materials.
Can the Farberware EdgeKeeper shears cut through poultry?
Poultry is named among the uses, but the listing does not mention cutting bone and does not give a blade length, so heavy butchery is untested by the specs.
