Overview
A 5 blade stainless steel herb scissors set from JOFUYU, built for quickly cutting basil, parsley, cilantro and similar herbs, with a rubberized non-slip handle and a cover that doubles as a cleaning comb.
Five parallel blades locked with three rivets are what separate this from a standard kitchen scissors, letting one cut turn a handful of herb leaves into a fine chop instead of the single line a normal shears would leave. The included cover doubling as a comb addresses the usual complaint with multi-blade herb scissors, that bits of leaf get stuck between the blades after use.
- 5 food grade stainless steel blades
- 3 rivets lock blades in place
- TPR rubber non-slip handle
- Cover and brush included for cleaning
Who it's for
Good for home cooks who regularly chop fresh herbs and want a faster alternative to a knife and cutting board. Anyone who only handles herbs occasionally will not get much extra value from a dedicated 5 blade tool over a normal kitchen scissors.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 5 blades chop herbs in one motion
- Non-slip TPR handle grip
- Cover doubles as a cleaning comb
- Includes a cleaning brush
- Limited to herb-style cutting rather than general kitchen tasks
Performance notes
The five stainless steel blades are food grade and riveted together, so the whole stack moves as one unit rather than blades shifting independently as they can on cheaper versions. A TPR rubber grip lines the handle interior for control while cutting, and the included brush and cover are meant to clear stuck herb residue between blades after use.
